Driven by technological progress and growing global attention for sustainability, the
adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise. Large-scale EV adoption would both disrupt …

This paper classifies and discusses the energy flexibility improvement strategies for demand
responsive control in grid-interactive buildings based on a comprehensive study of the …

The paper reviews different approaches, technologies, and strategies to manage large-scale
schemes of variable renewable electricity such as solar and wind power. We consider both …

Smart thermostats and home energy management systems (HEMSs) are generally studied
separately. However, their joint use can provide a greater benefit. Therefore, this study …

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 …

Aggregations of electric loads can provide reserves to power systems, but their available
reserve capacities are time-varying and not perfectly known when the system operator …

This paper investigates the potential of providing intra-hour load balancing services using
aggregated heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) loads. A directload control …

Coordinated aggregation of a large population of thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs)
presents a great potential to provide various ancillary services to the grid. One of the key …

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 …

This paper discusses conceptual frameworks for actively involving highly distributed loads in
power system control actions. The context for load control is established by providing an …
