Abstract
This Paper investigates the concept, implementation, and impact of Tune of Day tariff and other tariff based incentives / disincentives. The paper covers specifically following points. Design of 'Time of the Day' (ToD)/ 'Time of Use' (ToU) tariff structure for industrial consumers encourages consumers to shift their energy usage. Under To D tariff, consumption during different hours (period) of the day is charged differently. All the consumers are not aware about this type of tariff structure.
1. Detail study of ToD tariff structure applied to different industrial consumers and its effect. 2. Study of different incentives/disincentives given to these consumers such as power factor incentive, load factor incentive, power factor penalty etc. 3. Approach of ToF towards this tariff structure. The cost incurred by utility for this purpose is recovered from different consumers by applying a suitable tariff. Load curve of Indian utility is peaky in morning and evening hours. Differential between demand and supply is increasing day by day. Naturally cost of generation will also increase in order to meet the peak demand. To reduce this difference it is necessary to shift the load of certain consumer categories to off peak hours. The demand for electricity in India is increasing every day. As per consumer demand, utility is required to generate, transmit and distribute electricity among different consumers. The major load on utility system is industrial, and hence if industries would take initiatives for flattening the load curve by shifting their loads from peak hours to off peak hours, it will be profitable to both, utility and industry. To motivate consumers towards this goal is a challenging task.
