Summary:
This research addresses a critical gap in the literature on demand-side flexibility by evaluating how a combination of monetary and non-monetary incentives can effectively engage Small-Load Flexibility Providers (SLFPs) in electricity markets. Using Discrete Choice Experiments (DCE), the study tests an Incentive-Based Framework to identify the most valued attributes by SLFPs. Four key attributes were selected: monetary incentives (e.g., financial rewards), non-monetary benefits (e.g., environmental impact), surcharge mechanisms, and ancillary economic benefits. This pre-test provides insights into consumer preferences and sets the stage for large-scale deployment.
Spanish layman's summary:
This study evaluates monetary and non-monetary incentives to engage small electricity consumers in flexibility markets, identifying their key preferences using discrete choice methods.
