The Economics of Electricity Dynamic Pricing and Demand Response Programmes Application to Controlling BEVs and PHEVs Charging and Storage

This document is the first deliverable of the project entitled Adaptive and TOU pricing schemes for smart technology integration, funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE). Its aim is twofold: (i) through an economic analysis, we explore the different possible schemes of adaptive and time-varying tariffs that could be proposed by electricity distributors, in the context of a development of smart-grid technologies; (ii) based on economic models, we evaluate the potential for these tariffs to realise load shifting and/or shedding and to facilitate the integration of battery and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (BEVs and PHEVs). Please note that equations with free indices are understood to be valid for all values the indices can take, unless otherwise stated.
