The utilization of power electronic inverters in power grids has increased tremendously,
along with advancements in renewable energy sources. The usage of power electronic …

Renewables around the globe, provide fuel diversification, energy security and produce little
or no emissions during the electricity generation. The unavailability of rotating masses …

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

Operational flexibility is an important property of electric power systems and plays a crucial
role for the transition of today's power systems, many of them based on fossil fuels, towards …

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 …

The variability and nondispatchable nature of wind and solar energy production presents
substantial challenges for maintaining system balance. Depending on the economic …

This paper presents design considerations for a centralized load controller to control
thermostatically controlled appliances (TCAs) for continuous regulation reserves (CRRs) …

The displacement of conventional generation by converter connected resources reduces the
available rotational inertia in the power system, which leads to faster frequency dynamics …

Regulation services (RS) play an important role in maintaining the stability of electric grids
by correcting for short-term mismatches between electricity generation and demand. RS …

An energy storage resource (ESR) has outstanding ramping capability, but its limited energy
disables the provision of regulation service around the clock. As a comparison, a …
