2.3 Distributed pinning control of multiple aggregated TCLs

TCLs have already accounted for a significant proportion of the residential load, and the aggregate power of a large population of TCLs can vary drastically under small changes of the temperature setpoint, which instead do not influence the comfort levels of customers. It is more suitable for them to provide minute-minute ancillary services due to the temperature field characteristics of this kind of load. In this section, we consider the DR load following the control problem of multiple heterogeneous TCL aggregators managed by a flexible load agent, where each aggregator is composed of numerous homogeneous TCLs.

Here, we just need to control all TCL aggregators in each load agent ...
