مقاله انگلیسی رایگان در مورد طراحی تعرفه هوشمند برای کاهش خطر عمده فروشی (الزویر)

Yield Management (YM) in the telecommunications sector is described in [1] as the application of information systems and pricing strategies to allocate capacity to customers at a price and time that maximises revenue. In this paper, we describe a variant of YM where the objective is to minimise risk for the wholesale operator in setting the price for residential electricity in a Smart Grid (SG).

2 Electricity Market Operations

The Single Electricity Market (SEM) is the wholesale electricity market for generators and suppliers in the island of Ireland. All electricity suppliers participate in the market. Wholesale electricity prices are calculated in each half hour based on bids submitted by generators. Each generator is dispatched by the Market Operator so as to minimise prices and to meet market demand. As each generator is dispatched, its bid affects the price. The generator with the least competitive bid sets the price i.e., the marginal cost of power. For this reason, electricity prices are referred to as the System Marginal Price (SMP). SMP data for the SEM is available from the SEM Operator (SEMO). A Smart Metering (SM) system combines an electronic meter with a communication layer for sending consumption data to the network operator. The Irish Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) conducted SM Customer Behaviour Trials (CBTs) [3] with a view to an SM rollout by 2019. Consumption was recorded at half hourly granularity to align with the SEM.
