Download or read book Integration of Distributed Resources in Smart Grids for Demand Response and Transactive Energy written by Meng Song and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of renewable energy enhances the sustainability of power systems, but the inherent variability also poses great challenges to the planning and operation of large power grids. The corresponding electric power deficiencies can be compensated by fast ramping generators and energy storage devices. However, frequent ramp up/down power adjustments can increase the operation and the maintenance cost of generators. Moreover, storage devices are regarded as costly alternatives. Demand response (DR) and transactive energy can address this problem owing to its attractive and versatile capability for balancing the supply-demand, improving energy efficiency, and enhancing system resilience. Distributed resources are the typical participants of DR and transactive energy programs, which greatly contribute to keep the supply and demand in a balance. Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) (i.e., air conditioners, water heaters, and refrigerators) represent an example of distributed resources, the ratio of which to the total power consumption in developed countries is up to 30%–40%. Providing tremendous potentials in adjustable power consumption, TCLs have attracted major interests in DR and transactive energy opportunities. It has highlighted the advantages of TCLs in responding to uncertainties in power systems. This book provides an insight of TCLs as typical distributed resources in smart grids for demand response and transactive energy to address the imbalance between supply and demand problems in power systems. The key points on analysis of uncertainty parameters, aggregated control models, battery modelling, multi-time scale control, transactive control and robust restoration of TCLs are all included. These are the research points of smart grids and deserve much attention. We believe this book will offer the related researcher a better understanding on the integration of distributed resources into smart grid for demand response and transactive energy. And it will be helpful to address the problems in practical projects.

Download or read book Integration of Demand Response into the Electricity Chain written by Arturo Losi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of Demand Response (DR) generally concerns methodologies, technologies and commercial arrangements that could allow active participation of consumers in the power system operation. The primary aim of DR is thus to overcome the “traditional” inflexibility of electrical demand and, amongst others, create a new powerful tool to maximize deployment of renewable energy sources as well as provide active network management solutions to help reducing the impact of limited grid capabilities. DR allows consumers to actively participate in power system operation, thus bringing new opportunities in emerging energy markets as well as tangible system benefits. In this sense, DR is considered one of the key enablers of the Smart Grid concept. However, DR also poses a number of challenges, particularly when “active demand” is connected to the Low Voltage network, thus affecting all the actors involved in the electricity chain. This book presents for the first time a comprehensive view on technical methodologies and architectures, commercial arrangements, and socio-economic and regulatory factors that could facilitate the uptake of DR. The work is developed in a systematic way so as to create a comprehensive picture of challenges, benefits and opportunities involved with DR. The reader will thus be provided with a clear understanding of the complexity deriving from a demand becoming active, as well as with a quantitative assessment of the techno-economic value of the proposed solutions in a Smart Grid context. Many research contributions have appeared in recent years in the field of DR, both in journals and conference proceedings. However, most publications focus on individual aspects of the problem. A systematic treatment of the issues to be tackled to introduce DR in existing electricity grids, involving the extended value chain in terms of technical and commercial aspects, is still missing. Also, several books have recently been published about Smart Grid, in which there is some mention to DR. However, again while DR is seen as a key pillar for the Smart Grid, there is no dedicated, comprehensive and systematic contribution in this respect.

Download or read book Ensemble of Thermostatically Controlled Loads written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCL), e.g. air-conditioners and heaters, are by far the most wide-spread consumers of electricity. Normally the devices are calibrated to provide the so-called bang-bang control of temperature - changing from on to off , and vice versa, depending on temperature. Aggregation of a large group of similar devices into a statistical ensemble is considered, where the devices operate following the same dynamics subject to stochastic perturbations and randomized, Poisson on/off switching policy. We analyze, using theoretical and computational tools of statistical physics, how the ensemble relaxes to a stationary distribution and establish relation between the re- laxation and statistics of the probability flux, associated with devices' cycling in the mixed (discrete, switch on/off , and continuous, temperature) phase space. This allowed us to derive and analyze spec- trum of the non-equilibrium (detailed balance broken) statistical system. and uncover how switching policy affects oscillatory trend and speed of the relaxation. Relaxation of the ensemble is of a practical interest because it describes how the ensemble recovers from significant perturbations, e.g. forceful temporary switching o aimed at utilizing flexibility of the ensemble in providing "demand response" services relieving consumption temporarily to balance larger power grid. We discuss how the statistical analysis can guide further development of the emerging demand response technology.

Download or read book Decentralized and Centralized Optimal Control of HVAC Systems written by Ryan S. Montrose and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Utility service providers are often challenged with the synchronization of thermostatically controlled loads. Load synchronization, resulting from naturally occurring or demand response events, can damage power distribution equipment and reduce the grid's efficiency. Because thermostatically controlled loads constitute most of the power consumed by the grid at any given time, the proper control of such devices can lead to significant energy savings and improved grid stability. The contribution of this thesis is developing optimal control algorithms for both single-stage and variable-speed heat pump HVAC systems. Our control architecture allows for regulating home temperatures through selective peer-to-peer communication while simultaneously minimizing aggregate power consumption and aggregate load volatility. For comparison purposes, various low-level and centralized optimal controllers are explored and compared against their decentralized counterparts."--Boise State University ScholarWorks.
