Abstract
This
paper presents a tool for an aggregator of thermostatically controlled loads
(TCLs) to optimally combine their flexibilities into a few representative bids
to be submitted to flexibility markets. The tool employs a “bottom-up” approach
based on physical end-use load models, being the individual flexibility of each
individual TCL simulated with a second-order thermal model describing the
dynamics of the house. The approach is based on a direct load control (DLC) of
thermostat temperature set-point by the aggregator. End-users receive an
economic compensation in exchange for the loss of comfort. The applicability of
the proposed model is demonstrated in a simulation case study based on an
actual power system in Spain.
