Multi-level electricity prices for domestic industrial and commercial energy storage

Can energy storage be used for electricity bill management and Dr?

Energy storage can be used for load management and thereby reduce power purchasing costs. Electricity end-users, including residential, industrial, and commercial customers, can use energy storage for electricity bill management and DR. Depending on stakeholders selected, options of grid and/or BTM services are provided.

Why should commercial and residential end users rely on electricity cost and use information?

Historically, commercial and residential end users have been able to rely on local, state, and national electric grid cost and use information to know, with reasonable confidence, the economic feasibility and long-term use costs needed to make the energy supply investments to their facilities.

Are industrial electricity prices an effective intervention?

We take into account possible endogeneity arising from the policy-oriented pricing regime in China and show that industrial electricity prices act as an effective intervention that could be used to promote the shifting of the industrial structure towards a more energy efficient product range.

What is the average industrial electricity price in 2005?

The average industrial electricity price is 636.5 yuan/MWH in 2005 prices. For our thermal power generation variable, we observe that Shanghai, Tianjin and Shandong have the electricity fully powered by coal. Shanxi produces on average 588 billion tons of coal and is the top producer in China.

What is China's electricity pricing scheme?

In China, the electricity pricing scheme, originally designed in the 1960s, defined several categories of end users where each end user was assigned a specific energy price by province and local pricing bureaus under the guidance of the central government.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage can play a crucial role in creating facility flexibility, efficiency, and value enhancement for commercial and residential buildings. Energy storage in this segment will support the growth of renewable electric services, as well as potentially create added redundancy for the grid during periods of peak use.
