Large-scale aggregated air-conditioning load can change its aggregated power through demand response, which plays an important role in peak shaving, balancing fluctuations of renewable energy and providing auxiliary service. For the dispatching of power grid, it has a practical meaning to establish a model to describe the characteristics of aggregated air-conditioning loads. Compared with the extensive researches on independent model for air-conditioning loads, there are few researches on aggregated model for air-conditioning loads which requires accurate parameters in modeling. Based on the method of adjusting the temperature setting of air-conditioning, this paper proposes a simplified aggregated power model for air-conditioning loads considering outdoor environment temperature variations and the stochastic adjustment behaviors of the consumers. In addition, the proposed model is simplified based on the state queuing model, which can effectively reduce computation burden and real-time communication pressure during dispatching. The accuracy and feasibility of the proposed model are verified through simulation analysis.
