24 Time-Series Regression Models: Why? Rationale Behind Time-Series Regression Models 1 We are interested in capturing the effect of real-time price on electricity demand, no matter how slight it might be regression models 2 Some factors that impact electricity demand are not available to us omitted variable bias 3 It is desirable to capture the dynamics in electricity demand given the volatility observed in electricity usage of any household including lagged terms of dependent variable into predictor matrix X.

25 Time-Series Regression Models: How? Some Methods and Concepts in Econometrics Before fitting... Time series involved in this regression: stationary or not? Spurious regression A linear combination of I(1) variables is stationary, then the variables are called cointegrated a long-run relationship between the I(1) variables. a We want to learn about the true causal relationship, so need to do a formal unit root test in each series a Unit root : Y t = θy t 1 + ε t, where θ = 1 Nonstationarity or random walk, or I(1) variable.

58 14 RTP Households: Observations and Conclusions 1 Substantial variation in the coefficients 95% C.I. s, especially true for log[q(t 1)] and log[q(t 96)] (both of them are statistically significant). 2 Test of poolability. We use pooltest from the package plm in R. 2 We reject the hypothesis that a pooled model estimation is appropriate. Therefore, we do not consider using pooled fixed effects model on the 14 households. 3 Mixed (or Random) Effects Model: only data of 14 RTP households available; No other exogenous variables available so far except for price and weather factors; The random effects of our interest can be highly correlated with other regressors prohibit us from using random effects model. 2 It compares a model obtained for the full sample (with different intercepts for different households) and a model based on the estimation of a separate equation for each household X. Chen, J. Hosking & S. Ghosh (IBM) Real-Time Electricity Pricing IBM / NU, Summer / 37
59 Summary and Future Work Conclusions We used time-series regression models to obtain the price elasticities of electricity demand for the households in the RTP group; The regression fitting performance is better for predicting demand in winter; For the purpose of reasonably accurate forecasting, it s better to use ARIMA model for electricity demand and let the data speak for itself. The demand is relatively more price elastic in winter compared to non-winter, this is especially true when price spikes are present; Temperature plays an important role in determining electricity demand; according to our results, people are more sensitive to changes in temperature than changes in price; The responsiveness that individual RTP household showed to changes in price differ from one another; their daily electricity usage patterns also differ from each other to a great extent. Future work Fit different regression TOD models for on-peak and peak-hours Analyze the interactions between temperature and price signals Study the TOU/CPP group X. Chen, J. Hosking & S.
