Demand-side response (DSR), the incentivised time-shifting of energy use by consumers away from peak times, is regarded as a potentially effective measure to balance electricity supply and demand. This will be even more important in the low-carbon energy system of the future, with a high share of non-dispatchable power, such as variable renewable energy and nuclear power. Most DSR programmes require consumers’ active engagement in shifting end-use activities. Previous studies have, however, rarely revealed socio-demographic factors influential for consumers’ willingness-to-shift specific end-use activities. This study thus aims to fill this research gap and, using a multinomial logistic model to analyse a nationwide survey, identify factors influential for DSR-related decisions. The nationwide survey for 1004 respondents was carried out to collect data about consumers’ willingness-to-shift their daily activities. We focused on the activities that constitute the major part of domestic energy consumption, i.e. cooking, dish-washing, entertainment, heating, laundry and showering. According to the results, consumers’ original timing of the end-use activities, socio-demographic factors, ownership of specific appliances and level of concern for energy-saving are influential for their willingness-to-shift activities. These findings can not only help policymakers make more targeted DSR promotion plans but also help to improve broader modelling tools to better consider consumers’ willingness-to-shift their demand.

调查英国消费者对需求方响应的不同参与

需求方响应(DSR)是激励消费者远离高峰时间的能源使用时移,被认为是平衡电力供需的潜在有效措施。在未来的低碳能源系统中,这将具有越来越大的不可调度电力(例如可变可再生能源和核能)份额,这将变得更加重要。大多数DSR计划要求消费者积极参与转变最终用途的活动。但是,以前的研究很少揭示影响消费者改变特定最终用途活动意愿的社会人口统计学因素。因此,本研究旨在填补这一研究空白,并使用多项逻辑模型分析全国范围的调查,确定影响DSR相关决策的因素。进行了针对1004名受访者的全国性调查,以收集有关消费者改变其日常活动意愿的数据。我们专注于构成家庭能源消费主要部分的活动,即烹饪,洗碗,娱乐,取暖,洗衣和淋浴。根据结果​​,消费者的最终使用活动的原始时间,社会人口因素,特定设备的所有权以及对节能的关注程度都对他们的转移意愿产生影响。这些发现不仅可以帮助决策者制定更有针对性的DSR促销计划,还可以帮助改进更广泛的建模工具,从而更好地考虑消费者改变需求的意愿。我们专注于构成家庭能源消费主要部分的活动,即烹饪,洗碗,娱乐,取暖,洗衣和淋浴。根据结果​​,消费者的最终使用活动的原始时间,社会人口因素,特定设备的所有权以及对节能的关注程度都对他们的转移意愿产生影响。这些发现不仅可以帮助决策者制定更有针对性的DSR促销计划,还可以帮助改进更广泛的建模工具,从而更好地考虑消费者改变需求的意愿。我们专注于构成家庭能源消费主要部分的活动,即烹饪,洗碗,娱乐,取暖,洗衣和淋浴。根据结果​​,消费者的最终使用活动的原始时间,社会人口因素,特定设备的所有权以及对节能的关注程度都对他们的转移意愿产生影响。这些发现不仅可以帮助决策者制定更有针对性的DSR促销计划,还可以帮助改进更广泛的建模工具,从而更好地考虑消费者改变需求的意愿。特定设备的所有权和对节能的关注程度对他们的转移意愿有影响。这些发现不仅可以帮助决策者制定更有针对性的DSR促销计划,还可以帮助改进更广泛的建模工具,从而更好地考虑消费者改变需求的意愿。特定设备的所有权和对节能的关注程度对他们的转移意愿有影响。这些发现不仅可以帮助决策者制定更有针对性的DSR促销计划,还可以帮助改进更广泛的建模工具,从而更好地考虑消费者改变需求的意愿。
