The current paper illustrates the use of principal component analysis (PCA) on the congestion component of local (i.e. zonal) electricity price data to detect the most salient congestion patterns in electricity transmission grids managed by either a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) or an...

The growth of electric vehicles (EVs) raises new challenges for electricity systems. We implement a field experiment to assess the effect of time-of-use (TOU) pricing and managed charging on EV charging behavior. We find that while TOU pricing is effective at shifting EV charging into off-peak...
