Demand-Side Management in Fully Electrified Homes
通过一项关键峰值定价实验，发现全电气化家庭在电价飙升10倍时用电量下降15.3%，电动汽车家庭通过转移负荷响应，且不同收入群体削减量相似。
We report the results of a critical peak pricing (CPP) experiment conducted in an environment where homes are fully electrified, including both room and water heating. When a CPP with day-ahead SMS announcements is applied to the afternoon peak, creating a 10-fold increase in the electricity price, electricity consumption decreases by 15.3%, virtually eliminating that peak. The largest responses come from electric vehicle (EV) households. Also, unlike households without EVs who make reductions without compensating later, EV households respond to the CPP by shifting load to off-peak and next-day use. In our experiment, where higher-income households are disproportionately likely to own EVs, we find that demand reductions induced by the CPP are similar across income groups. Our results support the view that increased electrification may not only lead to a greater need for demand-side management but also enhance the flexibility in how households can and are willing to respond.
