Future consumed power estimation of time deferrable loads for frequency regulation

In order to restrict the frequency fluctuation caused by the fluctuating or uncontrollable output of dispersed generators, load control is cost-effective and reasonable. An algorithm to control time deferrable loads with the minimum inconvenience of the users has been developed, which needs the estimation of a future consumed energy. In this paper, It has been investigated how to estimate the energy in such loads as electric water heaters and air conditioners.
