SUMMARY:Distributed coordination of air-conditioning loads to provide
 demand-side flexibility to the power grid
DESCRIPTION:As we move away from fossil fuels toward renewable
 energy\nsources such as solar and wind\, inexpensive energy storage
 technologies\nare required. This is so since renewable energy sources\,
 such as solar\nand wind\, are intermittent. An alternative to batteries
 --which are\nquite expensive-- is "smart loads". With appropriate
 intelligence\, the\npower consumption of air conditioning --and many other
 loads-- can be\nvaried around a baseline. This variation is analogous to
 the charging\nand discharging of a battery. Loads equipped with such
 intelligence\nhave the potential to provide a vast and inexpensive source
 of energy\nstorage. Two principal challenges in creating a reliable
 virtual\nbattery from millions of consumer loads include (1)
 maintaining\nconsumers' Quality of Service (QoS) within strict bounds\, and
 (2)\ncoordinating the actions of loads with minimal communication to
 ensure\naccurate reference tracking by the aggregate. This talk summarizes
 our\nwork in addressing these two challenges. In particular\, I will
 present\nin some detail a method for ensuring reliable coordination in
 the\npresence of uncertainty without inter-load communication\, which is
 a\nfrequently used method for coordination. In contrast\, our
 approach\nachieves reliable coordination by using a combination of
 one-way\nbroadcast from the grid operator\, and locally obtained
 frequency\nmeasurements at the loads that provide valuable global
 information.\nWeb
