Household appliances represent significant load demand within the domestic electricity market, and therefore present considerable challenges for grid managers, specifically during peak demand periods. This paper presents the results of a statistically representative study of Irish households,...

Various demand side mechanisms are advocated to reduce peak electricity loads, including direct load control, which comprises remotely shifting load to peak periods. Empirical evidence across several electricity markets reveals heterogeneous customer preferences for these and other electricity...
