1. Categorization of electricity customers based on the
hourly consumption profile
Date: 2016 ongoing
Mini-abstract: To categorize electricity customers based on annual consumption or fuse
size was a fair approximation when only monthly consumption data was available. But with
the progress of hourly metering for all types of customers it becomes possible to study and
charge the customer based on their hourly consumption profile. This study follows from the
conclusions of the Energiforsk-project Synthesis of Electricity Tariffs where it became
apparent that customers with the same subscribed fuse-size didnt necessarily have similar
consumption patterns. By using Big Data-analysis of real customer consumption data from
distribution grids all over Sweden, knowledge regarding how the current common practice
of categorizing customers within the industry (utilities and retailers) reflects the detailed
picture for each customer and the costs they cause, as well as suggest how a future
categorization based on the consumption pattern of each individual customer can look like.
The aim is to integrate how the customer gets incentivized in this categorization, and
thereby aiding the creation of more efficient tariffs.

Client: Electricity retailer, Sweden

Mini-abstract: A data analysis on temperature sensitivity was conducted on historical

consumption data (2010-2015) for 18 000 end-consumers. The client is a well-established
electricity retailer. The consumers ranged from 200-150 000 kWh/year in consumption,

7. Tariff-synthesis
Date: 2015

Client: Energiforsk AB

Mini-abstract: How does the revenues of utility change when the customers become more
energy efficient? By order of Energiforsk, Sweco investigated this more closely by
developing a new analysis-model. With this model it was possible to investigate how a
change in the pattern of electricity-use among the customers will affect both the revenues
of the utility as well as the costs for the customers. The changes in electicity use that were
analysed covered increased demand response and a large-sclae roll-out of EV. and PVs.
All the analysis was conducted assuming the DSO used one of six different tariff with
various compositions including power- and/or energy fees, time-differentiation as well as
other dynamics.

 8. Demands and challenges for the distribution and
transmission grids of the future
Date: 2014

Client: Elforsk AB

Mini-abstract: With a significant increase of intermittent distributed renewable energy

sources (mainly wind- and photovoltaic) considerable challenges will be put on the
transmission and distribution of electricity. Furthermore, with the introduction of
considerable electrical vehicles the usage of electricity for residential end-consumers will
be changed compared to todays situation. This study assessed the needs and challenges
on operating the electrical grids of the future, and what investments needs to be done in
order to ensure a safe and reliable operation of the grid. This study included a distributed
bottom-up approach, meaning that a single residential house was simulated, enabling the
model to include consumption, distributed generation (based on irradiation) and charging
of an EV. The aggregated result from the entire system (i.e. all consumers in a particular
distribution grid) was used to analyse tariffs, maximal power flow and energy volumes.

Date: 2013-2014

Client: Mlarenergi Elnt AB

Mini-abstract: Developing and implementing a software model tool for making revenue
assessments under different scenarios. The environments used were Lavastorm Analytics
Engine and MS Excel. As electricity usage is subject to change and variability, and with an
increasing share of distributed generation (e.g. roof-mounted PV-modules) the distribution
grid company needed a software tool for easily simulating different scenarios
(colder/warmer winter, high/low penetration of distributed generation, change in energy
usage, etc.). The model has support for a wide variety of parameters and variables such
as different penetration levels of distributed generation, colder/warmer climate, change in
electricity usage, different rate plans (subscription fee, power tariff fee and time
differentiated power fee/subscription fee). Furthermore, high-voltage consumer rate plans
are also possible to include in the simulations.
