Abstract: (4087 Views) |
In this study, the electrical energy consumption in Tehran before reduction subsidies and after targeting subsidies was examined with using a dataset collected from household subscribers Tehran Electricity Distribution Company from August 2000 to November 2012. After review and analysis values, a model was proposed for predicting power consumption. The proposed model was a combination of trigonometric coefficients and power factors. The best values were obtained by using a genetic algorithm.
Procedure of electrical energy consumption in Tehran after Implementation of subsidies reduction plan was compared with the predicted model of electrical energy consumption in Tehran before Implementation that plan. The results indicated that implementation of subsidies reduction plan reduced electrical consumption growth rates and also a little reduced consumption rate. The other results of this study contain consumption patterns in order to manage the future consumption level of electrical consumers in Tehran. Also the results showed that, because demand for electricity is inelastic to price and income in the short time, as a result price policies cannot be effective in controlling the electricity demand, then should use non-price and intensive policies to reduce the consumption of electricity. |
