论文摘要
预计经济的进一步电气化会增加坡道速率并增加峰值载荷。新技术可能会促进需求方面的灵活性可以帮助这些运营挑战。电力公司已开始实施新的关税和其他机制，以鼓励部署能源存储。本文研究了使这些新的关税技术不可知，并将其扩展到灵活的需求将大大改善运营灵活性的采购。特别是，我们考虑商业消费者如何在太平洋天然气和电动公司以存储为中心的电气关税的情况下调整其灵活的需求。我们表明，将这种关税扩大给具有灵活需求的消费者将降低公用事业在高峰时段的净需求坡道率。如果消费者的需求灵活性很高，那么与基本关税相比，这项关税还可以减少高峰时段的净需求，并减少总电费。
Further electrification of the economy is expected to sharpen ramp rates and increase peak loads. Flexibility from the demand side, which new technologies might facilitate, can help these operational challenges. Electric utilities have begun implementing new tariffs and other mechanisms to encourage the deployment of energy storage. This paper examines whether making these new tariffs technology agnostic and extending them to flexible demand would significantly improve the procurement of operational flexibility. In particular, we consider how a commercial consumer might adjust its flexible demand when subject to Pacific Gas and Electric Company's storage-centric electric tariff. We show that extending this tariff to consumers with flexible demand would reduce the utility's net demand ramp rates during peak hours. If consumers have a high level of demand flexibility, this tariff also reduces the net demand during peak hours and decreases total electric bills when compared to the base tariff.
