Research Into Action, Inc.和萨克拉门托市政公用事业区（SMUD）合作，对SMUD住宅客户的行为和能源使用模式进行了研究，这些客户自愿签署了在PowerChoice标签下启动的使用时间率试点。该项目旨在考虑住宅客户参与需求减少行为的能力和意愿的方式和原因，并将社会和行为因素与观察到的需求变化联系起来。这项研究结合了负荷间隔数据和对参与家庭的三次连续调查。采用了两种实验处理方法来测试增加信息对家庭对使用时间率作出反应的能力的影响。调查结果表明，与会者了解使用时间率的目的，并采取了大量适当的行动来转移负荷和节约。统计测试显示，最初的价格影响较小，季节性价格变化的调整更为明显，但仍然温和。对这两种信息干预的测试表明，两者对消费模式都没有太大影响。尽管在负荷转移方面的统计证据不足，但该分析指出了关键分析和住宅使用时间费率发展的关键问题，特别是随着加州为更多加州住宅的需求响应奠定了基础。«少
Research Into Action, Inc. and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) worked together to conduct research on the behaviors and energy use patterns of SMUD residential customers who voluntarily signed on to a Time-of-Use rate pilot launched under the PowerChoice label. The project was designed to consider the how and why of residential customers ability and willingness to engage in demand reduction behaviors, and to link social and behavioral factors to observed changes in demand. The research drew on a combination of load interval data and three successive surveys of participating households. Two experimental treatments were applied to test the effects of increased information on households ability to respond to the Time-of-Use rates. Survey results indicated that participants understood the purpose of the Time-of-Use rate and undertook substantial appropriate actions to shift load and conserve. Statistical tests revealed minor initial price effects and more marked, but still modest, adjustments to seasonal rate changes. Tests of the two information interventions indicated that neither made much difference to consumption patterns. Despite the lackluster statistical evidence for load shifting, the analysis points to key issues for critical analysis and development of residential Time-of-Use rates, especially pertinent as California sets the stage for demandmore » response in more California residences.« less
