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 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.
