Addressing the growing concerns of climate change necessitates the decarbonisation of
energy sectors globally. Heating is the largest energy end-use, accounting for almost half of …

Industrial consumers have traditionally provided flexibility for power systems through various
Demand Response (DR) programs in different regions of the world, but below their real …

The thermal storage potential of Thermostatically Controlled Loads (TCLs) is a tremendous
flexible resource for providing various ancillary services to the grid. In this work, we study …

We analyze how traditional data center placement and optimal placement of dispatchable
data centers affect power grid efficiency. We use detailed network models, stochastic …

Abstract Residential Thermostatically Controlled Load (TCLs) such as Air Conditioners
(ACs), heat pumps, water heaters, and refrigerators have an enormous thermal storage …

Residential air conditioners (ACs), refrigeration units, and forced air heating loads are
candidates for providing ancillary services to the grid. Motivated by the need for resources …

This paper proposes a new grid frequency regulation (GFR) scheme using behind-the-meter
battery energy storage systems (BESSs). The fast dynamic responses of the electrical …

The integration of variable and intermittent renewable energy generation into the power
system is a grand challenge to our efforts to achieve a sustainable future. Flexible demand is …

This study develops and compares several networked control and estimation algorithms to
manipulate the power consumption of a population of residential thermostatically controlled …

Increased penetration of renewables will require significant regulating reserves, so there is a
need to re-think the traditional operating paradigm: supply follows demand. Recent work has …
