Customer Response Behavior in Time-of-Use Price

On the basis of customer response model for time-of-use(TOU) price,which was built based on the principle of consumer psychology,to meet the requirement during the drafting of TOU price to accurately grasp the demand of customer response characteristic a parameter identification model of customer responsivity curve was built by weighted least square method;it was pointed out that the acquisition of genuine customer responsivity curve was a repeatedly revising process by use of historical data and the problem of processing inflection points in piecewise linearized responsivity curve was solved;for customers to which the implementations of TOU price were different,the process of real-time simulation of customer response behavior in TOU price was drafted,and both effectiveness and advantage of the proposed model were verified by actual load data of a certain industrial customer.
