“…When the temperature setpoint of ACLs remains constant, the indoor temperature will reciprocate between the upper and lower boundaries of the temperature dead band. The entire population of ACLs can be considered as a load flux which flows between the temperature dead band on the temperature axis [22], [29], as shown in Fig. 1 [29], where θ max and θ min are the upper and the lower limits of temperature dead band, respectively; and θ set denotes the temperature setpoint of ACLs.…”

“…Note that n is unlimited. The tracking performance and switching wear-outs are compared with those of the controller in [29], what is called as "without SP". Figure 8 shows that when the reduction command is 10% of the steady operation power, the controlled ACL cluster could track the command up to 0.714 hour, which could satisfy the response qualification of Jiangsu Province in China.…”

This paper proposes a hybrid control strategy of air-conditioning loads (ACLs) for participating in peak load reduction. The hybrid control strategy combines the temperature setpoint adjustment (TSA) control and on/off control together to make full use of response potentials of ACLs. The primary free transport model of ACLs has been established in literature at or near a fixed temperature setpoint. In this paper, a widerange transport (WRT) model suitable for larger value of TSA is proposed. The WRT model can be constructed easily through the parameter of devices and indoor and outdoor temperature. To modulate the aggregate response characteristics of ACLs more friendly to the power grid, the safe protocol (SP) is adopted and integrated into the WRT model, which achieves a good unification of oscillation suppression and efficient modeling. Moreover, the hybrid control strategy is implemented based on the WRT model, and the model predictive control (MPC) controller is designed considering the tracking error and control switch cost. At last, the superiority of the hybrid control strategy is verified and the performance of ACLs for peak load reduction under this controller is simulated. The simulation results show that the hybrid control strategy could exploit the load reduction potential of ACLs fully than the TSA mode and track the reference signal more accurately.
