“…Next, the load units are divided into inflexible, curtailable and shiftable ones. The figure is an extension of the work by He et al (2013). As described earlier, load and generation will be more difficult to forecast and need increased attention, see Figure 1.4.…”

“…Another option is that this task is handled by a third party that professionalizes in flexibility services. We denote this role the Flexibility aggregator He et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013), since it aggregates many small volumes of flexibility. Flexibility contracts must be entered between the DSO and the Flexibility aggregator on one side, and between the Flexibility aggregator and each of the prosumers on the other.…”

“…Consequently, DR is either a tool to reduce or postpone expensive investments on the grid upgrades [20][21][22][23]. It mainly consists of temporally shifting the electrical demand when more renewable energy is available, simplifying, on one hand, all of balancing issues (global and local), on the other hand, diminishing the associated overall system costs [24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

This study is focused on the definition of an energy aggregator model for domestic users, offering the Demand Response (DR) optimization and additional services. The research project is based on the Italian electricity system analysis pointing out the renewables high contribution, the poor domestic users' electrification and the need to figure out those issues by a demand flexibility system implementation. Moreover, the characterization of Italian domestic users' energy loads allowed to identify the suitable strategies to get higher flexibility degree. Thus, three case studies have been considered to assess the achievable economic savings due to the DR implementation, accounting for the revenue for dispatching services as well as the intraday energy price variations on the Italian market. It emerged that the demand side flexibility implementation offers benefits to the Italian electricity system but entails small economic benefits for the endusers. Additionally, the adoption of such a system is quite complicated due to the lack of suitable and reliable automation devices. For that reason, a potential energy aggregator for domestic users will have to search funds for its own operation providing customers with additional services, such as energy saving and assisted-living, by using of ICT along with automation within each dwelling.

“…As the effectiveness of new pricing schemes depends largely on individual decisions of households, this article explores implications of dynamic electricity pricing in Denmark from a household consumer perspective. While theoretical gains are mostly undisputed, it remains an open question whether electricity retail customers find it attractive to adopt dynamic pricing schemes and responsive behavior …”

Dynamic pricing of retail electricity, as opposed to the widely applied average pricing, has often been proposed to enhance economic efficiency through demand response. The development of variable production from renewable energies and expectations about the installation of heat pumps and electric vehicles has now reinforced interest in flexible demand and dynamic pricing. With a roll‐out of smart metering one important technical hurdle is going to be cleared, and dynamic retail pricing may soon become an eligible option for many households. We quantify the potential incentives to adopt new pricing schemes using exemplary Danish data. Until now, limited activity of household consumers on retail markets indicates that switching supplier or contract is perceived costly. We apply the concept of switching costs to explain this hesitant behavior, and use it to estimate a threshold level based on recent observations in the Danish market. We calculate potential savings from dynamic pricing and show how the choice of electricity taxation technique may hamper or enhance potential benefits. In the light of switching costs, our results suggest that the combination of smart meter roll‐out and dynamic pricing offerings might be insufficient to convince the majority of households to switch contracts and become active in response to prices, unless they hold a substantial flexibility potential. Dynamic taxation, even if applied to parts of the levies, could contribute significantly to inducing flexible consumption. WIREs Energy Environ 2018, 7:e270. doi: 10.1002/wene270.
