SUMMARY:Controlling Electric Loads to Manage Energy Imbalances in Power
DESCRIPTION:Increasing the share of energy produced by wind turbines\,
 solar photovoltaics\, and solar thermal power plants helps society address
 many key energy challenges including climate change\, environmental
 degradation\, and energy security. However\, these renewable energy
 resources present new challenges\, notably that their\npower production is
 intermittent u2013 they produce when the wind is blowing and the sun is
 shining\, not necessarily when we need it.\n\nIn this talk\, I will
 describe how distributed flexible resources such as commercial buildings\,
 residential electric loads\, and distributed storage units can support high
 penetrations of intermittent renewables and provide other services that
 make the grid run more efficiently and make power less expensive. As an
 example\, I will show how one can use Markov models and linear/nonlinear
 filtering techniques to centrally control aggregations of air conditioners
 to provide power system services with high accuracy\, but low requirements
 for sensing and communications. Importantly\, the approach ensures that
 control actions are non-disruptive to the consumer. I find that\, depending
 on the performance required\, loads may not need to provide state
 information to the central controller in real time or at all\, which keeps
 installation and operation costs low. Additionally\, I will discuss a
 number of practical issues including estimates of the resource size and
 revenue potential. Finally\, I will describe several new research
 directions including modeling load aggregations as uncertain reserves for
 day-ahead power system planning and real-time security.\n\nBiography:
 Johanna Mathieu is a postdoctoral researcher in the Power Systems
 Laboratory at ETH Zurich\,Switzerland. In May 2012 she received her PhD in
 mechanical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. She
 has a BS from MIT in ocean engineering and an MS from UC Berkeley in
 mechanical engineering.
