Control and Communication for Demand Response with Thermostatically Controlled Loads

The book "Control and Communication for Demand Response with Thermostatically Controlled Loads" offers a comprehensive analysis of control and communication in the context of demand response with thermostatically controlled loads. It addresses key topics such as load control, optimization strategies, communication network models, resource allocation methods, system design, implementation, and performance evaluation. Notably, it provides detailed explanations of two essential cost modeling methods: cost modeling based on the Taguchi loss function and cost modeling based on control errors. The systematic and thorough treatment of optimization strategies and resource allocation makes this work particularly valuable for readers looking to learn solutions in the field of control and communication. It is aimed at researchers, engineers, and students in the areas of control theory, automation, communication technology, and economics.
