Automatic Coordination of Internet-Connected Thermostats for Power Balancing and Frequency Control in Smart Microgrids

This paper proposes a novel feedback control strategy, so-called clock-like controller (CLC), to balance power supply and demand in smart microgrids by adjusting the setpoint temperatures of air conditioning (AC) loads. In the CLC algorithm, the grid operator communicates with the individual thermos...
