Demand response (DR), as an effective way to improve operational efficiency of distribution networks, also imposes challenges on the mechanism design of ancillary services. Thermally controllable load (TCL), e.g. heating, ventilating, air-conditioner, has increased significantly in recent decades, which can be leveraged as a flexible resource owing to its well responsive capability towards the market incentives. Nevertheless, the spatially distributed TCLs are hardly coordinated through traditional DR schemes directly implemented by distribution network operators (DNOs). In this paper, a hierarchical market model is newly proposed to address this issue, where multiple load aggregators (LAs) perform as profit-pursing intermediaries by offering aggregated service to bridge interaction between DNOs and end-users. This model is devised with two levels. At the top level, aggregators’ benefits are determined by Shapley value method, which is in proportion to their contributions to cost minimization in utility operation. At the bottom level, end-users decide the temporally responsive amount by reaching a trade-off between the monetary revenue and resultant discomfort. Case studies illustrate that the proposed model provides an easy access to multiple aggregators to coordinate the widely distributed TCLs, which exhibits a high potential of practical application for system operators.
