The Feasibility of Changing Electricity Consumption Patterns

Time-of-day pricing, information feedback, group metering, appliance stocks, and demographic variables are examined as a means of synchronizing the demand of residential electricity. Peak and off-peak power were found to be weak substitutes in this 20-month study. Verbal responses indicated that information feedback served as a reminder to schedule activities, and that group metering reduced incentives.

The significance of insignificant results from the Oklahoma time-of-day rate experiment

Abstract During the past two years, the results of the sixteen or more federally funded TOD experiments have been published. This paper will review these published results and those of the Oklahoma experiment: to indicate any consistent patterns that have emerged, to identify potential obstacles to widespread implementation of TOD rates, and to identify gaps in existing knowledge requiring additional research.
