Using aggregated heterogeneous thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) to provide ancillary services in a smart grid is a promising technique. This paper proposes an improved population model with lockout time considered to describe the aggregate dynamics. Based on that, a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) scheme is investigated to control a population of TCLs for the regulation service. Full derivations of the system model and the DMPC scheme are provided. A flexibility penalty is developed and added to the objective function to preserve the regulation flexibility. Simulation results, tested by real data, reveal the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
