Inverter air conditioners (IACs) have gradually become the mainstream of resident air-conditioning equipment. Similar to traditional fixed-frequency air conditioners, IACs have the potential for demand response and load scheduling. However, the uncertainty of IACs is nonnegligible in generation-load scheduling. In this paper, the uncertain demand-response cost of IACs is studied for the first time. Meanwhile, based on the cost, a generation-load coordinative day-ahead scheduling model is proposed. In the scheduling, an IACs aggregator and traditional generators are coordinately dispatched to minimize the expected scheduling cost of the power system. The case study shows that the coordinative scheduling model can reduce the scheduling cost of the power system and encourage the IACs aggregator to improve their responsiveness or reduce their uncertainty, so as to improve the economy and reliability of power scheduling.

As typical thermostatically controlled loads (TCL) driven by constant-speed compressor, constant-speed air-conditioners play important roles in demand-side response for their abilities of energy conversion and storage. Their great potential for load regulation can be incorporated into power system scheduling through demand response. In view of their operating characteristics, a virtual energy storage (VES) model of thermostatically controlled loads with electrical and thermal parameters is established. This model is discretized and linearized to simplify calculation. By analyzing the control function and constraints of the VES model, the control strategy of VES of constant-speed air-conditioners load with virtual charging state priority is proposed. Example analysis shows that this strategy can solve and alleviate power shortage problem of the system by participating in demand response, which provides methodological support for constant-speed compressor temperature-control load to participate in the system operation.

Air Conditioners (AC) impact in overall electricity consumption in buildings is very high. Therefore, controlling ACs power consumption is a significant factor for demand response. With the advancement in the area of demand side management techniques implementation and smart grid, precise AC load forecasting for electrical utilities and end-users is required. In this paper, big data analysis and its applications in power systems is introduced. After this, various load forecasting categories and various techniques applied for load forecasting in context of big data analysis in power systems have been explored. Then, Levenberg–Marquardt Algorithm (LMA)-based Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for residential AC short-term load forecasting is presented. This forecasting approach utilizes past hourly temperature observations and AC load as input variables for assessment. Different performance assessment indices have also been investigated. Error formulations have shown that LMA-based ANN presents better results in comparison to Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) and statistical regression approach. Furthermore, information of AC load is obtainable for different time horizons like weekly, hourly, and monthly bases due to better prediction accuracy of LMA-based ANN, which is helpful for efficient demand response (DR) implementation.

Air conditioning loads are important resources for demand response. With the help of thermal energy storage capacity, they can reduce peak load, improve the reliability of power grid operations, and enhance the emergency capacity of a power grid, without affecting the comfort of the users. In this paper, a virtual energy storage model for inverter air conditioning loads, which reflects their operating characteristics and is more conducive to practical application, is established. Two parts are involved in the virtual energy storage model: An electrical parameter part, based on the operating characteristics, and a thermal parameter part, based on the equivalent thermal parameter model. The control function and restrictive conditions of the virtual energy storage are analyzed and a control strategy, based on virtual state-of-charge ranking, is proposed. The strategy controls the inverter air conditioners through re-assigning indoor temperature set-points within the pre-agreed protocol interval and gives priority those with a higher virtual state of charge. As a result, electric power consumption is reduced while the temperature remains unchanged, so that a shortage in the power system can be compensated for as much as possible, while the comfort of users is guaranteed. Simulation and example analyses show that the strategy is effective in controlling air conditioning loads. Additionally, the influences of load reduction target magnitude and communication time-step on the performance of the control strategy are analyzed.
