This comprehensive review examines factors contributing to residential electricity consumption and investigates possible links between these factors and peaks in demand. The study presents in-house energy-use dynamics and introduces a framework for future research, providing a useful reference for engaging in new studies on residential factors and peaks in electrical demand.
At least one-third of the total electricity generation of a country is consumed by the residential sector, which is one of the most unpredictable consumer groups with respect to electricity usage and thus risks network security by producing peaks in demand. Consequently, a growing body of literature has paid particular attention to this sector and explored the household factors responsible for residential electricity consumption. However, comprehensive studies that explicitly considered all these factors in relation to peaks in demand have rarely been undertaken. A comprehensive review of the factors that contribute to residential electricity consumption has thus been conducted. Possible links between these factors and peaks in demand are investigated. As part of this review, in-house energy-use dynamics are presented, and a framework for future studies is introduced. The results of this review would serve as a useful reference to engage in new research dealing with residential factors and peaks in electrical demand.
