There are many uncertainties and risks in residential electricity consumption associated with economic development. Knowledge of the relationship between residential electricity consumption and its key determinant—income—is important to the sustainable development of the electric power industry. Using panel data from 30 provinces for the 1995–2012 period, this study investigates how residential...

China’s electricity industry has experienced two major stages of development: from 1949 to 1984, the industry was treated as a subordinate sect...

In the new deregulated market of the electricity industry the communication and e-Business infrastructure plays a main role for the efficiency of all the entities present in the electricity sector. From generation to the final client there are two markets, the wholesale and the retail market. Specific characteristics of the electricity industry make the communication support a fundamental tool ...

Unlike existing studies focused on the causal relationship between electricity consumption and economic growth at the macro level, this paper uses monthly data from January 2006 to December 2015 and applies the correlation coefficient, as well as Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, to study the time difference relationship between sectoral electricity consumption and economic growth. The empirica...

Currently, the electric industry is undergoing a complete transformation and restructuring due to the concurrent convergence of deregulation and the advent of Distributed Generation (DG). Some years ago, electricity was produced in some big power plants and a few vertically integrated electric utilities covered all the steps in the electricity supply: generation, transmission, distribution and ...

A significant literature has developed to estimate the damages to third parties from new electricity generation technologies. This paper focuses on how such estimates can be profitably used in the present regulatory environment, and in the potential new environment that may result from restructuring in the electricity industry.

The National Electricity Market is the centerpiece of the Australian restructured electricity industry. It is a spot market in which prices are determined on a five-minute basis but half-hour averages are used for commercial transactions. The five-minute prices are broadcast to participants so that the can respond while the prices are still avoidable. An approximate form of nodal pricing is

Incorporation of radio controller units into heavy equipment used in the electricity industry provides numerous advantages including: improved electrical isolation between plant and operator, ability to incorporate an additional remote operator, and reductions in vehicle wiring and hydraulic hoses for equipment control. However, secure operation of vehicles and plant incorporating radio control...
