A Collaborative Control strategy of Thermostatically Controlled loads Considering Communication Delay

Abstract

With the large-scale integration of clean energy into smart grid, how to use the flexible regulation of demand-side load to improve the efficiency of new energy has become an issue in recent years. However, facing more and more demand-side services, the pressure of communication network will multiply, which will easily cause communication delay and affect real-time control services. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved electric water heater model, which introduces the error of load running state change caused by communication delay, which can simulate the real-time consumption in real environment more accurately, and then feedback and optimize the collaborative loads control strategy to improve the consumption rate of new energy. Finally, the effectiveness and advantages of the model and strategy are verified by simulation.
