TLDR
In this article, a coordination approach for thermostat-controlled household appliances is developed, which consists of a stepwise heuristic solution of a binary optimization problem, which serves to select a number of devices in each time step that are subject to compulsory switching, i.e. toggling the “on/off” state.About:

Provision of Load Frequency Control by PHEVs, Controllable Loads, and a Cogeneration Unit
TL;DR: This paper presents a method for tracking a secondary frequency control signal by groups of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, controllable thermal household appliances under a duty-cycle coordination scheme, and a decentralized combined-heat-and-power generation unit.

Modeling and Control of Aggregated Heterogeneous Thermostatically Controlled Loads for Ancillary Services
TL;DR: In this paper, a Markov state transition matrix is identified using state information from the population of thermostatically controlled loads, and a predictive controller is used to control the aggregate population of loads such that it tracks a signal.

Stabilization of Grid Frequency Through Dynamic Demand Control
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether a degree of built-in frequency stability could be provided by incorporating dynamic demand control into certain consumer appliances, such as refrigerators, which would monitor system frequency and switch the appliance on or off accordingly, striking a compromise between the needs of the appliance and the grid.

Homeostatic Utility Control
Fred C. Schweppe,Richard D. Tabors,James L. Kirtley,Hugh R. Outhred,Frederick H. Pickel,Alan J. Cox +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a homeostatic utility control (HUC) model for distributed distribution automation and control (DAC) systems, which is an overall concept which tries to maintain an internal equilibrium between supply and demand.

A fast technique for unit commitment problem by extended priority list
TL;DR: In this paper, a new unit commitment problem, adapting extended priority list (EPL) method is introduced, which consists of two steps, in the first step, in order to get rapidly some initial unit commitment problems by priority list method, operational constraints are disregarded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and evaluation of control schemes for enhancing load shift of electricity demand for cooling devices
TL;DR: This paper discusses and compares two types of control signals to use the thermal storage of electrical household appliances as balancing power and develops a model of the synergetic behaviour of an ensemble of refrigerators' reaction on control signals.
