Evaluating the impacts of the increasing block tariffs on residential electricity consumption in China

Shuang Hu et al.

Summary: The study found that residential electricity consumption in China is growing rapidly, and the use of Increasing Block Tariffs is effective in reducing consumption, especially among high-income groups. The instrumental variable method proved to be effective in assessing the impact, providing a reliable means of evaluation.

Hidden inequality in household electricity consumption: Measurement and determinants based on large-scale smart meter data

Haitao Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates electricity consumption inequality and adaptation vulnerability using smart meter data. The findings show a significant underestimation of inequality due to the seasonal offset effects of annual aggregate data. Cold temperatures have a more severe impact on social inequality than hot temperatures. An additional day with temperatures below 30 degrees F leads to a 3.05% increase in electricity consumption inequality. Furthermore, households in high inequality cities have poor response ability when facing extreme temperatures.

Extreme temperatures and residential electricity consumption: Evidence from Chinese households

Shaohui Zhang et al.

Summary: This study estimates the impact of extreme temperatures on household electricity consumption using data from the China Residential Energy Consumption Survey. The results show that for every additional day with a mean temperature exceeding 32 degrees C, there is an 8.9% increase in annual electricity consumption. The study also finds that households rely on air conditioning to cope with heat stress, leading to higher electricity usage. The findings suggest that future global warming could significantly increase residential electricity consumption, but implementing measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions could mitigate this effect.

Climate Adaptive Response Estimation: Short and long run impacts of climate change on residential electricity and natural gas consumption

Maximilian Auffhammer

Summary: This paper proposes a simple two-step estimation method called CARE to estimate sectoral climate damage functions with long-term adaptation. The paper applies this method to residential electricity and natural gas demand in California and shows that failing to account for extensive margin adjustment leads to a significant underestimate of future impacts on electricity consumption.

Response of China's electricity consumption to climate change using monthly household data

Juan-Juan Hou et al.

Summary: Intensifying climate change has a significant impact on residential electricity consumption, particularly in developing countries like China with rapid income growth. This study examines the response of residential electricity consumption to temperature in China from a micro perspective, using meteorological and household survey data. The findings suggest a U-shaped response function, with each additional day above 34 degrees C resulting in a 2.11% increase in monthly residential electricity consumption. The study also forecasts future electricity demand and CO2 emissions under different climate scenarios.

Quantification of climate-induced interannual variability in residential US electricity demand

Hadi Eshraghi et al.

Summary: By analyzing data from 48 U.S. states using a linear regression model from 2005 to 2017, it was found that the majority of states' summer and winter electricity demand variability is primarily driven by climate, indicating the need for new datasets to quantify unexplained variance in electricity demand.

How will climate change affect the peak electricity load? Evidence from China

Hao Chen et al.

Summary: The increasing peak load caused by climate change poses a challenge to the reliability of the electricity system, and accurate peak load forecasts can support infrastructure investment and resilience enhancement. The study found that the impacts of maximum temperatures on peak loads vary among regions, with air conditioner adoption and penetration being important channels for realizing the impacts of temperature changes on peak loads. Additionally, the national peak load is forecasted to increase significantly by the end of this century, necessitating additional infrastructure investment.

Dispatch optimization of thermal power unit flexibility transformation under the deep peak shaving demand based on invasive weed optimization

Jianjun Wang et al.

Summary: The rapid development of new energy sources like wind power and photovoltaic power has led to higher flexibility requirements for traditional thermal power generation units, resulting in the need for their transformation. By introducing a nonlinear programming model and an improved invasive weed optimization algorithm, the transformation problem of thermal power units can be more effectively solved.
