“…This idea is not in fact new, having been underlined more than 30 years ago by Schweppe, Tabors, Kirtley, Outhred, Pickel, & Cox (1980). Conte, Scaradozzi, Perdon , Cesaretti, & Morganti (2007) used multiple agent theory for modeling and analyzing REMS, trying to achieve practical tools for the analysis of performance of control strategies over household agents.…”

This work proposes a methodology to evaluate the energy and power resources that can be made available through the deployment and use of a residential energy management system, as the Energy Box (EB) proposed by Livengood & Larson (2009). The impact on the electricity distribution system of such technology will result of changes in the electricity usage by end-use customers in response to stimuli like real-time changes in the electricity price, corresponding to the widely known demand response (DR). However, due to the dispersed and uncontrolled nature of the management of end-use appliances, estimating the energy and power output of the aggregation of a high number of EB's requires a specific approach which can take into account the random nature of load response.The approach that was followed simulated a certain universe of consumers from one particular city, using information regarding total electricity consumption as well as the segregated consumption per main appliance. The proposed methodology makes use of queried data regarding the willingness of consumers to postpone the start of appliances, as well as prototypes of hourly price diagrams. These prototypes were obtained through a data clustering exercise that was also proposed as part of the methodology. The possible environmental impact of the aggregated use of EB's was also estimated.The output of the methodology includes the range of released network capacity as well as load rebound, both caused by the aggregated EB response. In particular, load rebound is a relevant phenomenon that presents new challenges to the management of the grid, and for which some preventive measures are suggested.The analysis of the environmental significance of the aggregated EB resource shows that DR is not per se a tool to reduce CO 2 emissions, being strongly dependent of the generation technologies that are used to compensate demand variations. ResumoEste trabalho propõe uma metodologia para avaliar os recursos de energia e de potência que podem ser disponibilizados através da disseminação e utilização de um sistema de gestão de energia no sector residencial, como a Energy Box (EB) proposta por Livengood & Larson (2009). O impacto de tal tecnologia sobre o sistema de distribuição de energia elétrica irá resultar de mudanças no uso da eletricidade por utilização final de clientes em resposta a estímulos como mudanças em tempo real no preço da electricidade, correspondendo ao amplamente conhecido conceito de gestão da procura (DR). No entanto, a natureza dispersa e não controlada da gestão destas cargas exige uma abordagem que tenha em conta o caráter aleatório do comportamento desta procura para efetuar uma estimativa agregada do consumo de energia e da potência causados por um elevado número de dispositivos EB.A abordagem que foi seguida exigiu a simulação de um determinado universo de consumidores de uma determinada cidade, utilizando informações sobre o consumo total de energia eléctrica, bem como o consumo por eletrodoméstico. A metodologia proposta faz uso de...

“…Schweppe et al originally suggested this idea in 1980 [4], proposing a faster supply-demand balancing by employing "governor-type" action on certain types of loads. A Frequency Adaptive Power Energy Rescheduler (FAPER) is used to assist conventional turbine-governed systems and spinning reserve by switching off, and back on, significant energy consuming loads as a function of its ability to provide energy.…”

Implementation and Assessment of a Decentralized Load Frequency Control: Application to Power Systems with High Wind Energy Penetration

et al. 2017

This paper describes and assesses a decentralized solution based on a wireless sensor-actuator network to provide primary frequency control from demand response in power systems with high wind energy penetration and, subsequently, with relevant frequency excursions. The proposed system is able to modify the electrical power demand of a variety of thermostatically-controlled loads, maintaining minimum comfort levels and minimizing both infrastructure requirements and primary reserves from the supply side. This low-cost hardware solution avoids any additional wiring, extending the wireless sensor-actuator network technology towards small customers, which account for over a 30% share of the current power demand. Frequency excursions are collected by each individual load controller, considering not only the magnitude of the frequency deviation, but also their evolution over time. Based on these time-frequency excursion characteristics, controllers are capable of modifying the power consumption of thermostatically-controlled loads by switching them off and on, thus contributing to primary frequency control in power systems with higher generation unit oscillations as a consequence of relevant wind power integration. Field tests have been carried out in a laboratory environment to assess the load controller performance, as well as to evaluate the electrical and thermal response of individual loads under frequency deviations. These frequency deviations are estimated from power systems with a high penetration of wind energy, which are more sensitive to frequency oscillations and where demand response can significantly contribute to mitigate these frequency excursions. The results, also included in the paper, evaluate the suitability of the proposed load controllers and their suitability to decrease frequency excursions from the demand side in a decentralized manner.

“…The best candidates for this purpose are the loads whose utility to the consumer is a function of energy consumed over a period of time rather than instantaneous power consumption [3]. Known examples of such loads are heating, cooling and pumping devices (also referred to as Thermostatically Controlled Loads).…”

However, their implementation is limited due to lack of practical demonstrations and tests that can rigorously quantify their ability to support the grid's integrity. In this paper, provision of time critical frequency control ancillary service is demonstrated by means of integrating PowerMatcher, a well discussed demand side management mechanism in literature, with real-time power hardware. The co-simulation platform enables testing of demand side management techniques to provide ancillary services.Keywords-Ancillary services, demand side management, transactive energy markets and real-time power hardware-in-theloop simulation.
