Dynamic Electricity Pricing Tariffs:Trade-offs for Suppliers and Consumers

One of the key elements of Directive 2019/944 from the latest EU Energy Legislative package was the introduction of dynamic electricity pricing. This incentive for consumers to change their consumption patterns is supposed to be beneficial for many power system entities, from system operators to suppliers and RES owners. On the other hand, there are some indications that such pricing schemes can be detrimental for specific consumer groups, especially vulnerable household types. The aim of this paper is to investigate the benefits for a household to switch between different electricity pricing tariffs and start participating in an implicit demand response program. To answer this question, we use a detailed household model that includes all common appliances, as well as behind-the-meter electricity generation, energy storage and flexible loads, e.g. electric vehicle charger. The household is represented by a mixed-integer linear programming model that take into account load patterns caused by different consumption habits of household members, different sets of appliances that can can be found in a household and different levels of household automation.
