Impacts of different power-based distribution tariffs for customers

Electricity distribution systems are facing changes since distributed energy resources, such as distributed generation and electric vehicles, are becoming more common in the energy system. Load profiles of end-customers are changing from the energy incentive towards peak power intensive type. Decreasing trend of energy transfer in distribution is challenging the present energy-based tariff structure of distribution system operators. Due to capacity-based dimensioning of electricity distribution system, the incentives to power-based customer tariffs are increasing. This study focuses on analysing how power-based tariffs with different parameter settings would affect the distribution of customer payments.
