将国内负荷转移到非高峰时段可能会减少配电损失和相关的碳排放。本文首次对国内能源需求随时间变化而不减少的情况下可能减少的损失进行了定量估计。在电网分配的能量中,大约只有0.02%的减少,相对于总体损失和它们的可变性来说是很小的,这使得英国的配电网络运营商没有理由因为这个原因鼓励这种负荷转移。本文还考虑了限制减排的监管激励,以及不同参与方之间成本和收益的分散。其社会价值远高于目前的监管激励,但可能仍不足以保证采取行动的成本。减少而不是转移负荷可能会带来更大的环境效益。
Shifting domestic load to off-peak time periods could potentially reduce electrical distribution losses and associated carbon emissions. This paper provides the first quantitative estimate of the possible reduction in losses, for a situation where domestic energy demand is shifted in time but not reduced. At a likely 0.02% of energy distributed by the network, the reduction is small relative to overall losses and to their variability, giving little rationale for distribution network operators in Great Britain to encourage such load-shifting for that reason. The paper also considers the limited regulatory incentives for the reduction, and the fragmentation of costs and benefits across different parties. The societal value is considerably higher than the current regulatory incentive, but nonetheless may still not warrant the cost of action. Reducing rather than shifting load is likely to give greater environmental benefits.
