Abstract
This paper explores distribution utility rate structures from all over the world and their evolution as new distributed energy resources (DER) technologies enter residential markets. Novel DER technologies - such as rooftop solar, behind-the-meter battery energy storage, and controllable loads are increasingly becoming a part of consumer residences. Distribution utilities are devising novel tariff schemes to accommodate emerging technologies and leverage these assets for grid support in residences. These tariff schemes provide consumers with incentives to encourage them to actively participate in a way to reduce their electricity bill as well as help distribution utilities with load management. For this research, a public utility rate structure database was used.
