Designing Electricity Distribution Network Tariffs for Beneficial Electrification
… is broad consensus that the flat volumetric electricity tariffs currently in place for residential customers in most of the US discourage electrification and do not reflect the underlying marginal costs of electricity delivery. Under flat volumetric tariffs, utilities are projecting sharp …

Incentive Regulation with Benchmarking in the Electricity Distribution Industry
… electric utility industry: How do regulators for electricity industry use the information generated from accounting systems to make pricing decisions? What are the economic consequences of these decisions? In Chapter 2, I review regulatory reforms and discuss existing issues of using DEA models …

Regulation of Quality of Service in Electricity Distribution Networks
… of service quality regulation schemes in the electricity distribution network. The second objective is to examine how the regulation of quality of service has been structured and applied to electricity distribution networks, primarily in the UK where the application of incentive mechanisms is …

Financial sustainability of mini-grid electricity distribution companies in Uganda
… investigated the financial sustainability of electricity Mini-grids in Uganda. The challenges of sustainability of Mini-grids were recognised by Tenenbaum Bernard, Greacen Chris, Siyambalapitiya Tilak (2014) as well as Payen, Bordeleau and Young (2016), with a focus on developing countries, …

A study of adaptive protection methods for future electricity distribution systems
… large-scale thermal units is evolving as the electricity supply industry and end users both move to play their part in tackling climate change. Government targets and financial incentive mechanisms have created a generation portfolio that is becoming more diverse as both large and small-scale …

Implication of national policy on electricity distribution system planning in Kenya
… multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method of electricity distribution system planning based on the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) embedded in a 'bottom-up' planning process to investigate the implication of National Policy (Kenya Vision 2030) on distribution system planning in …

Electricity distribution networks’ analysis with particular references to distributed generation and protection
… system near load centres, thus, directly to the distribution network. DG units are larger in number than the more massive conventional power stations and are linked to the introduction of bidirectional power flow. As a result, the configuration of the traditional electric power systems and the …

Promoting innovation in electricity distribution networks : new tools for regulators and planners
… of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks around the world. In most jurisdictions the increase in DERs has been met with a "fit and forget" network management approach whereby grid planners accommodate these resources by expanding the capacity of the network with …

A model-based approach to regulating electricity distribution under new operating conditions
… and electric vehicles are connecting to the electricity distribution grid, a regulated natural monopoly. Existing regulatory schemes were not designed for these new technologies and may not provide distribution companies with adequate remuneration to integrate the new technologies. To …

Vulnerability analysis of electricity distribution networks with large-penetrations of PEVs and DERs
… on the vulnerability assessment of radial electricity distribution networks (DNs) under large-scale integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs). We formulate a two-player Stackelberg security game involving an attacker (external threat agent) and …

A strategy for the management of energy losses in a local electricity distribution network
… electrical energy losses in an electrical distribution network. In order to develop the strategy, a model was constructed that simulates an electrical distribution network and includes different parameters that calculate the estimated technical losses in the electricity distribution …

Effect of conductor size on the total cost of electricity distribution feeders in South African electrification
There is an optimum conductor size that minimises the lifetime cost of domestic electrification networks. The lifetime cost consists of the initial capital cost and ongoing running cost. Technical load losses are an important running cost and consideration for conductor size optimisation. …

Towards forecasting and prediction of faults in electricity distribution network : a novel data mining & machine learning approach
The electricity supply system includes a large-scale power generation installation and a convoluted network of electrical circuits that work together to efficiently and reliably supply electricity to consumers. Faults in the electricity distribution network have a direct effect on its stability, …

Horizontal integration under yardstick competition
… application of yardstick competition in the electricity distribution industries of both Belgium and Norway. Chapter 1 analyses how horizontal mergers, joint ventures and regulatory decentralisation complicate the application of yardstick competition in Belgian electricity distribution. …
