Network tariffs and energy contracts with incentives for demand response

This paper presents principles related to different pricing incentives tested in previous, ongoing and newly started research projects, with main focus on the structure of the network tariff. The costs customers pay for access to the power system for use or feed-in of electricity, is decided by the costs of different energy contracts, network tariffs and taxes. The optimal segmentation of the different elements and the differentiation of these depend on the actual purpose of the incentive.
Three examples of different pilot studies are described, to show alternative for both differentiation and segmentation.
