Advances in IT, control and forecasting capabilities have made demand response a viable,
and potentially attractive, option to increase power system flexibility. This paper presents a …

Distributed resources (DR) provide several challenges to distribution system analysis due to
the models and solution techniques that are required for adequate representation and …

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

This paper presents a novel appliance commitment algorithm that schedules
thermostatically controlled household loads based on price and consumption forecasts …

This paper presents a novel modeling and control approach for the aggregation of large
numbers of heterogeneous thermostatically controlled loads, such as refrigerators, electric …

This paper examines the problem of demand-side energy management in smart power grids
through the setpoint control of aggregate thermostatic loads. This paper models these loads …

This paper investigates the possibility of providing aggregated regulation services with small
loads, such as water heaters or air conditioners. A direct-load control algorithm is presented …

Simulation of smart grid technologies requires a fundamentally new approach to integrated
