An Analysis of Residential Electricity Supply and Demand in California During the Summer of 2000
Prior to 1996, roughly 70% of electricity service in California was provided by investor owned utilities (IOUs). The IOUs operated as monopolies in their respective service territories, performing all of the functions necessary to generate and deliver electricity to the consumer. In exchange for …

Using system dynamics to explore gini coefficient parametrics
Modern economies are dependent on a reliable electricity supply for sustaining economic health and development, enabled by adequate energy planning and/or investment in capacity. Identifying drivers such as changes in income distribution that impact electricity demand is thus critical. This project …

Acid rain provisions of the 1990 clean air amendments: affects on residential electric customers
This thesis attempts to explain to what degree residential electricity prices will increase due to compliance with the sulfur dioxide provisions of the 1990 Clean Air Amendments. The Amendments were passed with widely varying estimates of the costs to the final consumer. These estimates ranged from …

Implications of heating electrification on distribution networks and distributed energy resources
The electricity sector’s transformation towards renewables, combined with technological improvements in electric appliances, has enabled electrification as a decarbonization pathway for other sectors. Electric heat pumps are an attractive solution for space heating, which is still largely served by …

Estimating residential hot water consumption from smart electricity meter data
Despite the fact that residential water heating is among the most energy-intensive aspects of the water sector, domestic hot water use is often poorly quantified. However, water-related energy savings in the residential sector are possible from the implementation of energy-efficient water heaters. …
