Distributed Cooperative Control Strategy of Thermostatically Controlled Loads Considering Switch Life Loss

With the large-scale access of new clean power generation energy to the power grid and the rapid development of smart electricity technology, more and more electric equipment is involved in the demand response to calm the fluctuation of new energy. However, the incremental cost and switch life loss of electrical equipment are usually not taken into account in the traditional optimal scheduling scheme. This paper presents a TCLs distributed cooperative control strategy based on multi-agent consistency. This strategy adopts the control cost model which takes into account the life loss of switches and can reflect the thermodynamic characteristics of TCLs, and realizes the control cost optimization through distributed collaborative control.
