Technical requirements and practical implementation of a dynamic priced electricity tariff

Abstract

Today most industrial customers use electricity tariffs with static prices and therefore cannot benefit from volatile prices at the short term markets for electrical energy. In this paper the technical requirements to implement such dynamic electricity tariffs are presented. Additionally, a Demand-Response-Interface for the communication between retailer and industrial process is described. The presented concept is implemented and validated in context of a field test with ten different industrial companies of different branches in context of the enclosed project “Happy Power Hour II”.
