Abstract Income-based energy poverty metrics ignore people’s behavior patterns, particularly reducing consumption to limit financial stress. We investigate energy-limiting in low-income households using a residential electricity dataset. first determine the outdoor temperature at which start cooling systems, inflection temperature. Our relative metric, equity gap , is defined as difference temperatures between low and high-income groups. In our study region, we estimate be 4.7–7.5 °F...
Abstract Since 2013, China has implemented a large-scale initiative to systematically deploy solar photovoltaic (PV) projects alleviate poverty in rural areas. To provide new understanding of China’s targeted alleviation strategy, we use panel dataset 211 pilot counties that received PV investments from 2013 2016, and find the policy increases per-capita disposable income county by approximately 7%-8%. The effect investment is positive significant year implementation more than twice as high...
Heatwaves, driven by climate change, have increasingly challenged energy systems with increased demand and reduced supply, leading to power outages. This study empirically examines the impact of heatwaves on outages, employing fixed-effects models using high-frequency outage data from China (2019-2021). The results indicate that increase frequency outages 3.9%-4.0% extend their duration 7.9%-8.3%. Additionally, each degree temperature rise increases 0.1%, an additional heatwave day raises...
Understanding the degree of energy limiting behavior in low-income and vulnerable households is vital to eradicating poverty associated negative health effects. We estimate outdoor temperatures at which turn on off their electricity-based cooling heating units under a cold climate northern Illinois, USA (N = 418,255 for cooling; N 22,628 electric heating). find that equity gap between low high income groups 3 °F (1.7 °C), while electric-based 6 (3.3 °C). The pattern found be different season...
Electrification plays a crucial role in deep decarbonization. However, electrification and power infrastructure can cause mutual challenges. We use nationwide outage electric vehicle adoption data China to provide empirical evidence on how failures deter electrification. find that when the number of outages per district increases by 1 given month, new vehicles adopted month decreases 0.99%. A doubling one year average across nation create depressed rate for up decade, implying decline more...
The global trade in transportation industry has complex socio-economic, resource, and environmental (SRE) footprints. Linking these footprints with sustainability frameworks is crucial for driving (TI-S). Here, we analyze develop a TI-S assessment system 26 SRE indicators 16 targets. We find that increases scores; developed economies excel resource targets, developing progress more employment tax For South Africa, Russia, Australia, improvements the socio-economic target scores do not offset...
The rapid popularization of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) smart meters produces customer high-frequency energy consumption data. These data provide diverse options for economics and policy research. In this review, we examine studies applying high frequency meter to explore the overall impact household new technology adoption COVID-19 on patterns. We find that boosts accuracy forecasting models with various data-driven algorithms. addition, there is a lack precise assessment...
Transitioning to an equitable electricity sector requires a deep understanding of warming climate's impacts on vulnerable populations. A vital climate adaptation measure is deploying air-conditioning (AC), but AC use can increase household energy costs. We evaluate how will affect regional equity by tying temperature projections with response functions derived from smart-meter data in Phoenix, Arizona. simulate future consumption changes under two change scenarios 2020 2070, and without...
