contents Many loads have flexibility in demand that can be used to provide ancillary services to power grids. A large body of literature exists on designing algorithms to coordinate actions of many loads to provide such a service. The topic of characterizing the flexibility of one or a collection of loads - to determine what kinds of demand deviation from the baseline is feasible - has also been studied. However, there is a large diversity in definitions of flexibility and methods proposed to characterize flexibility. As a result there are several gaps in the literature on flexibility characterization. Some approaches on flexibility characterization are based on ad-hoc approximations that lead to highly conservative estimates. In this paper we point out some of these issues and their implications, with the hope to encourage additional research to address them.
