Abstract: Load variations in power systems are increasing due to more variable renewable energy and electrification. The variations can be partly dealt with through controlling flexible loads in buildings i.e. Demand Side Management (DSM)). This work evaluates how five different tariff schemes (Base Case, Energy Rate, Measured Power, Time of Use and Tiered Rate) affect the value of DSM in buildings totally powered by electricity (cooling, heating, lighting and appliances). The tariffs schemes were evaluated to investigate incentives provided to the consumer for increased energy efficiency and enhance peak load shaving through DSM. Tariffs’ evaluation based on simulation for a single-family house in Egypt, 45 cases were conducted considering different parameters (class of consumption, location, type of tariff). The simulation and algorithmic results showed that the suggested tariff schemes offering remuneration through DSM enable lower bills for consumers beside attain peak load shaving then increase energy efficiency.
