Dynamic Pricing of Electricity
回顾了电力动态定价的理论基础,分析了美国推广缓慢的原因,并讨论了技术进步如何降低计量和需求响应成本,以及仍存在的障碍。
As both a regulator and an academic, Fred Kahn argued that end-use electricity consumers should face prices that reflect the time-varying marginal costs of generating electricity. This has been very slow to happen in the US, even in light of recent technological advances that have lowered costs and improved functionality for meters and automated demand response technologies. We describe these recent developments and discuss the remaining barriers to the proliferation of time-varying electricity pricing.
