Growing self-generation and storage are expected to cause significant changes in residential electricity utilization patterns. Commonly applied volumetric network tariffs may induce imbalance between different groups of households and their respective contribution to recovering the operating costs of the grid. Understanding consumer behaviour and appliance usage together with socio-economic factors can help regulatory authorities to adapt network tariffs to new circumstances in a fair way. Here, we assess the effects of 11 network tariff scenarios on household budgets using real load profiles from 765 households. Thus we explore the possibly disruptive impact of applying peak-load-based tariffs on the budgets of households when they have been mainly charged for consumed volumes before. Our analysis estimates the change in household network expenditure for different combinations of energy, peak and fixed charges, and can help to design tariffs that recover the costs needed for the sustainable operation of the grid.

不断增长的自发电和储电预计将导致住宅用电模式发生重大变化。普遍采用的容积式网络电价可能会导致不同家庭组之间的不平衡，以及它们各自对收回电网运行成本的贡献。了解消费者的行为和电器使用情况以及社会经济因素，可以帮助监管机构以公平的方式使网络资费适应新的情况。在这里，我们使用来自765户家庭的实际负荷曲线评估了11种网络关税方案对家庭预算的影响。因此，我们探讨了在以前主要根据消费量对家庭预算进行收费的情况下，将基于峰值负荷的关税应用于家庭预算的可能带来的破坏性影响。
