Cost-Effectiveness of Electricity Energy Efficiency Programs
We analyze the cost-effectiveness of electric utility rate payer–funded programs to promote demand-side management (DSM) and energy efficiency investments. We develop a conceptual model that relates demand growth rates to accumulated average DSM capital per customer and changes in energy prices, income, and weather. We estimate that model using nonlinear least squares for two different utility ...
متن کاملSmart Energy: Electricity Usage and Demand-Side Management in Households
Household electrical energy consumption represents a major chunk of the total demand. This demand is also exhibiting steady increase whereas supplies are struggling to keep up. This poses two key challenges to Demand-Side Management (DSM) – achieving unrealized energy savings and, reducing peak loads. Energy saving in households has not yet achieved its potential chiefly because of poor feedbac...
متن کامل20∶60∶20 - Differences in Energy Behaviour and Conservation between and within Households with Electricity Monitors
The introduction of electricity monitors (in-home displays; IHDs), which show accurate and up-to-the-minute energy usage, is expected to lead to reduction in consumption. Studies of feedback on domestic electricity use have generally supported this view. However, such studies also demonstrate wide variation between households. Examining the heterogeneity of responses is essential for understand...
متن کاملDifferential Electricity Pricing and Energy Efficiency in South Africa
By international standards the economy of South Africa is extremely energy intensive with only a few countries having higher intensities. SA’s primary energy use per unit of GDP is amongst the highest in the world The high energy and electricity intensity of the economy partly reflects SA’s resource endowments (in particular the abundance of coal) but is also a function of the historical under-...
متن کاملsupply and demand security of energy in central asia and the caucasus
امنیت انرژی به معنی عرضه مداوم و پایدار همراه با قیمت های معقول در حامل های انرژی، که تهدیدات امنیتی، سیاسی، اقتصادی، محیط زیستی و روانی را کاهش دهد. امروزه نفت و گاز تنها، کالای تجاری نیست بلکه بعنوان ابزار سیاسی مورد استفاده قرار می گیرد.اختلاف میان روسیه و اکراین بر سر انرژی در ژانویه 2006، تهدیدی برای امنیت انرژی اروپا ایجاد کرد. در این تحقیق ما تلاش کردیم که نقش انرژی آسیای میانه و قفقاز ر...
