This paper presents an analysis methodology to consider the effects of customer-side battery energy storage systems (BESS) on electricity distribution networks motivated by power-based tariffs. The paper describes the methodology by which the network effects can be defined. The methodology is verified by applying actual distribution network and load data. The analysis shows that transition from traditional...
It has been suggested that demand response (DR) would be one of the most promising and important features of an energy system. However, the development of residential customers' DR has not been very successful so far. Among the main reasons have probably been inadequate benefits that DR provides to different market participants. Various DR practices have been proposed, but only a few of them have...
Numerous changes will take place in the electricity distribution system and business in the near future. Especially, electricity end-use may significantly alter the electricity distribution network loads. The main technologies that will have effects on electricity end-use may be microgeneration, heat pumps, electric vehicles, demand response, and energy storages. Moreover, rising reliability demands...
This paper considers how power-based distribution tariffs encourage electricity end-users to invest in energy storages to reduce their peak loads. The study uses actual automatic meter reading (AMR) data from 30 000 customers the annual electricity consumption of which is less than 50 MWh. The customers locate in the area of a Finnish distribution system operator (DSO) operating in an urban environment...
In this paper, we will study the role of DSO tariffs in promoting the energy efficiency of the energy infrastructure. The key problem with the present energy based tariff structure is that it is not cost-reflective and do not provide incentives for customers to optimize their consumption so that efficiency of the electricity distribution would be improved. Our conclusion is that power based pricing...
In this paper, we have evaluated the incentives and obstacles of the demand side management (DSM) from the viewpoint of the electricity retailers. Research results are based on the questionnaires, workshops, and simulations. Based on our studies, it seems that there exist remarkable amount of controllable loads, and also market places for flexible resources have already been established in Finland...
More active demand side participation is promoted as a solution to various problems in the electricity markets and networks. Perhaps the most discussed option of increasing consumer participation is demand response. However, getting consumers to join programs that involve variable prices and/or direct control of consumer appliances may prove challenging. Consumers have doubts about how much of their...
Energy efficiency has been a topic of discussion for a long time, and now it seems to have effects on energy consumption. Energy efficiency actions will influence on customers' electricity usage. This can also be seen in the amount of transmitted electrical energy and power through distribution network. Total effects of energy efficiency on transmitted electrical energy and power are not known. Changes...
The objective of the paper is to develop methodology to analyse the impact of market-based electric heating load control on the distribution network business. In this paper, the spot market-based load control scheme is demonstrated. The main target of the paper is to illustrate the phenomenon of space electric heating load control and its impact on the distribution network. The conflict of interests...
Demand response is a widely discussed option for facilitating connection of intermittent generation and making the use of energy resources more efficient. Previous studies have shown that the use of demand response enabling technologies leads to higher reductions during peak hours than only giving price signals to customers who can then decide whether they want to time their consumption accordingly...
