    ELECTRICITY RETAILING DECISION MAKING BASED ON DATA MINING TECHNIQUES By JIAJIA YANG B.E. M.E. A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications Faculty of Engineering April 2018 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Yang First name: Jiajia Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Electrical Engineering and Faculty: Faculty of Engineering Telecommunications Title: Electricity Retailing Decision Making Based on Data Mining Techniques Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) With the continuous development of Smart Grid, especially the emergence of Energy Internet, there is an increasing amount of measurement data available collected from power system end-users. Through data mining techniques, these measurement data can enable a better understanding of the load composition and end-user consumption behaviours, and therefore would provide great potentials for developing more flexible and targeted or even customized pricing schemes for electricity retail. This research starts with a comprehensive literature survey on decision-making for electricity retailers. Publications on electricity retailing in the last two decades are surveyed and discussed in detail. Then, key business framework of electricity retailers is studied. It elaborates the typical business process of electricity retailers and its procedure of creating a new sales agreement. Considering the drawbacks of existing load data mining methods, a new non-intrusive load monitoring method is proposed which is able to cope with the big load data in the Smart Grid environment. After obtained the status of all identified appliances, a statistical residential load model is developed.

In order to balance the need for the Electricity Distribution Industry (EDI), to improve its livelyhood, to obtain reasonable returns on investment, to deliver services at least cost to needy and poor communities, it has become imperative to address issues of electricity industry restructuring, corporatization, privatisation and the socio-economic upliftment. On the other hand, in order to ensure development and sustainability of the South Africa economy, it is equally imperative to ensure lower input costs to the industrial sector, which is the backbone of the economy. This is particularly so in respect of bulk consumers of electricity. The challenge will always be how to strike a balance between ensuring sustainability and facilitating growth of the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) and the socio-economic demands placed upon it.

  • Implication of Competition Law Enforcement in the Electricity Sector: Comparative Analysis of the UK and the US
    Francisca Kusi-Appiah Implication of Competition Law Enforcement in the Electricity Sector: Comparative Analysis of the UK and the US Introduction Competition policies and laws are being adopted and introduced by countries, especially developing countries, in order to gain investment. 1 This research examines literature on competition in the energy sector with specific focus on electricity. Critical analysis is made of the competition legal regimes as exist in the electricity markets of UK (England and Wales, and Scotland) and US (PJM). The comparative analysis of the implication of competition on electricity in the US (PJM) and the UK electricity or power markets will rely on indicators for both competition and electricity security. The indicator for competition will consist of the substantive competition law/legal regime while the indicators for electricity security, will consist of availability (generational capacity), fuel diversity (environmental concerns) and affordability. Competition Legal Regime United States Competition in the electricity markets in the United States started in the 1990s but majority of the states adopted this new approach in the 2000s. 2 In 2000, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission introduced independent system operator (ISO) or regional transmission organisation (RTO) and in October of that same year, FERC 1 Francisca Kusi-Appiah ordered the compulsory adoption of either an ISO or RTO by all utilities. 3Competition in the Unites States of America was only in respect of wholesaling. 4 Currently, most states have implemented competition of electricity retailing with the emergence of electricity service providers who do not have to produce their own electricity but buy from the market place and resell to consumers.

    COVER STORY Energy Solutions for Future Earth Activities 1 Achieving a Sustainable Society through Digital Innovation in the Electric Power Industry —Establishing Digital Solutions for the North American Power Grid— The deregulation of electricity retailing, combined with greater adoption of renewable energy sources and distrib- uted generation have produced advances in digital technologies that are bringing major changes to the energy industry. This trend is occurring throughout the global market and in the electric power industry in particular. The changing nature of this industry is driving the value chain towards more sophisticated ways of operating power plants, maintaining equipment, realigning roles, and reordering the relationships between suppliers and consum- ers. The traditional model is evolving toward a system of supply and demand, away from the tightly regulated systems and practices that once governed the main grid. With this as a backdrop, electric utilities are starting to recognize that the use of digital technologies will result in superior operating decisions that are based on effective data management. For example, greater integration and compatibility between in-house systems incorporating fi eld data from the grid can use that data for improving performance measures. In North America, a market where electric utilities number more than 3,000 companies, Hitachi is engaging in collaborative creation with customers in order to incorporate digital solutions that address the challenges facing customers. These solutions

Background The Utility Regulators Forum was established in recognition of the need for cooperation in a federal system among State-based regulators. The forum consists of regulators operating in industries where utilities that traditionally operated as monopolies are being opened up to competition as a result of the competition reform process. By acting as a focal point for regulators in different jurisdictions the forum seeks to: < foster understanding of issues and concepts faced by regulators on similar industries; < minimise overlap of regulations for large users who operate across jurisdictions; < provide a means of exchanging information; and < enhance the prospects of consistency in the application of regulatory functions. The following paper is released by the Regulators Forum to encourage discussion in a range of important regulatory issues. CONTENTS 1.

This research study aims to give a global overview of the digital transformation and channel integration of free-market electricity retailers in Spain from a consumer’s perspective. The analysis includes all free-market electricity retailers that operate at the national scale, explores the level of digital transformation and channel integration of these companies based on a structured set of indicators, and measures them using the mystery shopper technique. The results show important differences between leading retailers and the rest of companies, evidence an important lag of the sector when compared to other retail markets and an overall lack of multichannel and omnichannel strategies, show a strong effort of retailers in online billing and self-service customer data management, and reveal shortcomings in the availability of communication channels with customers.

  • Avoiding Pitfalls in Reforming China's Electricity Sector
    Pre-publication version, accepted to The Energy Journal, 2020 Avoiding Pitfalls in China’s Electricity Sector Reforms† * ** Michael R. Davidson and Ignacio Pérez-Arriaga China has recently reinvigorated reforms to its electricity sector, focusing on increasing the role of markets and improving regulation. While restructuring an electricity sector is difficult and can require years of detailed planning, China’s approach relies upon broad central guidelines with many details and initiatives left to provincial governments. We assess the current state of reform efforts through the lens of five “pitfalls” based on well-established regulatory economics literature and international lessons, focusing on contract structure, system operation, and regulation. We find that while market efforts are likely to achieve efficiency gains with respect to the planned system, they may fall short of crucial functions of a market, such as incentivizing flexibility given increasing renewable energy penetrations. Making markets work will likely require a stronger centralization of market design and regulatory oversight authorities.
