Time-of-Day Pricing in the U.S. Electric Power Industry at the Turn of the Century
回顾了20世纪初美国电力行业关于电价结构的讨论,介绍了最早研究分时电价的工程师、公用事业高管和经济学家的观点,尽管他们最终未能成功推行分时电价。
Around the turn of the century, a debate occurred within the infant U.S. electric power industry on the issue of electricity rate structures. We describe those discussions and consider the views of some of the economists who first addressed the issue. Although they were ultimately unsuccessful, there were sophisticated advocates of time-of-day rates among the first engineers, utility executives, and economists to study electricity rates.
