Abstract
With the further acceleration of urbanization in China, the proportions of both urban residents’ energy consumption and energy-consuming terminal electricity are showing an increasing trend at the same time. In view of the dynamic and time-varying complex system characteristics of power system, it is of great significance to study the impact mechanism of urbanization residents’ electricity consumption on the realization of demand-side management (DSM) and environmental protection. Based on the one-year follow-up survey data obtained from household meter reading, this paper studies the impact mechanism of urban residents’ electricity consumption in different seasons (summer, winter, and the whole year) and terminals (with and without air-conditioning and full samples) by descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression model. The results show that, on the whole, electricity is a necessity for urban households and does not change significantly with changes in income. At the turn of summer and autumn and the turn of winter and spring, high-income families tend to use higher levels of energy in pursuit of comfort, while low- and middle-income families do not have luxury consumption. In different seasons, the influence mechanism of household electricity consumption at different terminals is different.
Highlights
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption fundamentally lead to global warming and climate change, which pose a great threat to human society [6]
Considering the range of questions covered by the questionnaire used in this paper, this paper mainly studies its impact on the household electricity consumption of urban residents from the perspective of income, hoping to provide a reference for policy formulation through in-depth discussion on terminal and season
Keeping the balance of supply and demand in the power market is of great significance to the smooth operation of the power system
Summary
Erefore, it is an important task to solve the problem of power supply and demand gap and ensure the smooth operation of the power system In this context, the implementation of the energy demand response capacity enhancement project is one of the main tasks of China’s energy development at this stage. At is to say, we should attach equal importance to the demand side and the supply side, improve the market mechanism and technical support system, implement “energy-efficient power plants” and construction projects, gradually improve the price mechanism, guide power users to participate in peak shaving and peak shifting independently, and enhance the demand response capability Supported by technologies such as smart grid, energy microgrid, electric vehicles, and energy storage, we will vigorously develop distributed energy networks to enhance users’ flexibility and adaptability in participating in energy supply and balance adjustment. It can adjust residents’ living electricity consumption from a more specific household level, fully consider the heterogeneity factors of household electricity consumption, guide the transformation of household and individual electricity consumption behavior and lifestyle to a low-carbon mode, formulate appropriate policies for different residents, and involve more accurate residents’ welfare
