Value of net‐FiT PV policies for different electricity industry participants considering demand‐side response

摘要: Net-metering feed-in-tariffs (net-FiT) policies for residential photovoltaics (PV) have financial implications not only PV customers but also all other electricity industry participants. They may incentivise households to adjust their daily load patterns either minimise or maximise export depending on the FiT design and wider retail arrangements. In this paper, we study of both systems such demand-side response (DSR) returns households, retailers distribution network service providers (DNSPs). We use half-hourly generation household consumption data 61 houses in Australian city Sydney consider two net-FiT designs offering tariffs significantly higher lower than rates. a simple model DSR that allows increase exports self-consumption by moving between daylight hours evening. find modestly improve revenue has potentially greater DNSPs. reduces adverse impacts retailer DNSP revenues, while increased worsens them. Conversely, might drive expenditures constrained areas help reduce The highlights importance designing with regard DNSPs as well households. Furthermore, broader policy settings markets will become increasingly important deployment grows, opportunities expand current inadequacies more marked. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
