With the increasing integration of wind energy sources into conventional power systems, the
demand for reserve power has risen due to associated forecasting errors. Consequently …

It is widely accepted that thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) can be used to provide
regulation reserve to the grid. We first argue that the aggregate flexibility offered by a …

This paper explores methods to coordinate aggregations of thermostatically controlled loads
(TCLs; including air conditioners and refrigerators) to manage frequency and energy …

Demand response is playing an increasingly important role in the efficient and reliable
operation of the electric grid. Modeling the dynamic behavior of a large population of …

Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs), such as refrigerators, air-conditioners and space
heaters, offer significant potential for short-term modulation of their aggregate power …

The thermal storage potential in commercial buildings is an enormous resource for providing
various ancillary services to the grid. In this paper, we show how fans in Heating, Ventilation …

Demand response provides a solution to the grid imbalance problems which restrict the use
of renewable energy. Since buildings possess a high amount of flexible load, they could …

We investigate the potential for aggregations of residential thermostatically controlled loads
(TCLs), such as air conditioners, to arbitrage intraday wholesale electricity market prices via …

Large groups of electrical loads can be controlled as a single entity to reduce their
aggregate power demand in the electricity network. This approach, known as load …

The expanding penetration of nondispatchable renewable resources within power system
generation portfolios is motivating the development of demand-side strategies for balancing …
