Water demand under alternative price structures
We estimate the price elasticity of water demand with household-level data, structurally modeling the piecewise-linear budget constraints imposed by increasing block pricing. We develop a mathematical expression for the unconditional price elasticity of demand under increasing block prices and compare conditional and unconditional elasticities analytically and empirically. We test the hypothesi...
متن کاملResidential Demand Response under Uncertainty
This paper considers a residential market with real-time electricity pricing and flexible electricity consumption profiles for customers. Such a market raises an optimisation problem for home automation systems where they need to schedule consumption activities to reduce costs, whilst maintaining a base level of comfort and convenience. This optimisation problem faces uncertainty in real-time p...
متن کاملSeasonal Demand Dynamics of Residential Water End-Uses
Water demand prediction by end-use at an appropriate spatial and temporal resolution is essential for planning water supply systems that will supply water from a diversified set of sources on a fit-for-purpose basis. Understanding seasonal, daily and sub-daily water demand including peak demand by end-uses is an essential planning requirement to implement a fit-for-purpose water supply strategy...
متن کاملA Hybrid Agent-Based Model for Estimating Residential Water Demand
The global effort toward sustainable development has initiated a transition in water management. Water utility companies use water-pricing policies as an instrument for controlling residential water demand. To support policy makers in their decisions, the authors have developed DAWN, a hybrid model for evaluating water-pricing policies. DAWN integrates an agent-based social model for the consum...
متن کاملA Water Demand Forecasting Model using BPNN for Residential Building
This paper presents a residential water demand forecasting model using a back propagation neural network (BPNN) in the context of residential buildings in Korea. The water demand of a building demonstrates a highly complex and non-linear phenomenon reflecting such features as geographic and climatic and special types of buildings. We describe the impact of several potential determinant factors ...
