Abstract

Decarbonization involves a large-scale expansion of low-carbon generators such as wind and solar and the electrification of heating and transport. Both space heating and battery-electric cars have significant embedded flexibility potential. Granular price signals that convey abundance or scarcity of electricity are a precondition for customers or aggregators acting on their behalf to exploit this flexibility. However, unmitigated real-time prices expose customers to electricity price risks. To tackle the dual need of providing flexibility incentives while protecting customers from cost shocks, real-time tariffs with a hedging component can be a solution. In such contracts customers pre-agree an amount of energy and a consumption profile, while hourly deviations are charged at spot prices. In this paper we analyze design options by using a dataset of anonymized smart meter data and show that profile tariffs can bring electricity bill volatility to similarly low levels as fixed tariffs while providing full flexibility incentives from spot prices.

电力零售客户简介合同
去碳化涉及风能和太阳能等低碳发电机的大规模推广,以及供暖和运输的电气化。空间供暖和电池电动汽车都具有巨大的嵌入式灵活性潜力。传递电力充裕或稀缺的细粒度价格信号是客户或代表客户的聚合器利用这种灵活性的先决条件。然而,不加控制的实时价格会使客户面临电价风险。为了解决既要提供灵活性激励,又要保护客户免受成本冲击的双重需求,包含对冲成分的实时电价不失为一种解决方案。在这种合同中,客户预先商定能源量和消费情况,而每小时的偏差则按现货价格收费。在本文中,我们利用匿名智能电表数据集对设计方案进行了分析,结果表明,曲线电价可将电费波动性降到与固定电价类似的低水平,同时还能从现货价格中获得充分的灵活性激励。

期刊介绍: Energy policy is the manner in which a given entity (often governmental) has decided to address issues of energy development including energy conversion, distribution and use as well as reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in order to contribute to climate change mitigation. The attributes of energy policy may include legislation, international treaties, incentives to investment, guidelines for energy conservation, taxation and other public policy techniques. Energy policy is closely related to climate change policy because totalled worldwide the energy sector emits more greenhouse gas than other sectors.
