Abstract :
This paper considers a demand side response system for frequency control in agreement with suggestions proposed by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E). Such a control strategy is designed for supporting primary frequency regulation through thermostatically controlled loads, such as domestic refrigerators and water heaters. A realistic simulation study within the scenario of the Sardinian electric network, in a 2020 forecast horizon, is presented. Results show the advantages and drawbacks of the considered strategy.
