Multi-Rate Tariffs in the Management of Electricity Demand
(original language – Ukrainian)
There are substantiated the urgency and benefits of multi-rate tariffs’ use as an important component of the management of electricity demand. There are investigated the features of the construction of multi-rate tariff systems in Ukraine. Based on the analysis of daily electrical load schedules for typical domestic enterprises there are formed recommendations on the application of various types of tariffs depending on the basic characteristics of electricity consumption of business entities. There is proved that under the current system of multi-zone tariffs in Ukraine uniform tariffs are the most appropriate for non-production enterprises with single-shift working. Two-zone tariffs are effective for businesses that operate at night and spend during the light day no more than 10% of the electricity consumed. Three-zone tariff should be used for multi-shift production enterprises, the electricity consumption of which during peak periods do not exceed 25% of the total energy consumed per day and their consuming electricity at night more than during the peak period. There is proposed the algorithm for preliminary determination of the most effective system of electricity tariffs for businesses.
Key words: enterprise, electricity, demand management, multi-rate tariffs, daily load.
