The boom of fluctuating renewable energies puts forward higher requirements on reserve capacity for maintaining the power system balance. To address this issue, this letter investigates a novel distributed event-triggered consensus control (ETCC) method of large-scale inverter air conditioners (IACs) for demand response, which can achieve the same regulation objective and response speed while significantly relieving the communication burden compared with traditional time-scheduled consensus control methods. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem, we also prove the convergence of the ETCC with nonlinear protocol for massive IACs. Finally, the above models and methods are verified by numerical studies.

需求响应的大型变频空调事件触发共识控制

波动性可再生能源的繁荣对维持电力系统平衡的备用容量提出了更高的要求。为了解决这个问题，本文研究了一种新型分布式事件触发共识控制（ETCC）方法，用于大型变频空调（IAC）的需求响应，该方法可以实现相同的调节目标和响应速度，同时显着减轻沟通负担与传统的时间调度共识控制方法相比。基于 Lyapunov 稳定性定理，我们还证明了 ETCC 与大规模 IAC 的非线性协议的收敛性。最后，通过数值研究验证了上述模型和方法。
