In this paper, a theoretical framework within which the demand for electricity in the residential sector is studied is studied, and the cross-sectional household survey data is analyzed to estimate the consumption of electricity for different end uses by relating the household electricity consumption with the stock of electrical appliances.
Abstract
In this article a theoretical framework within which the demand for electricity in the residential sector is studied. The cross-sectional household survey data is analyzed to estimate the consumption of electricity for different end uses by relating the household electricity consumption with the stock of electrical appliances. Using these estimates, appliances elasticities are obtained. It is shown how these elasticities can be used to relate future electricity usage to changes in the stock of appliances for Bangalore, the capital of Kamataka state in southern India.

Technology portfolio analysis for residential lighting

TL;DR: In this article, the benefits of shift in the focus from supply augmentation to demand management through a case study of replacement of inefficient devices with efficient ones for residential lighting is analyzed by analyzing the economics of various alternatives and developing an optimal portfolio for meeting the lighting requirement of a typical household in India.

- 01 Mar 1984 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a subsample of the 1975 survey of 3249 households carried out by the Washington Center for Metropolitan Studies (WCMS) for the Federal Energy Administration for the purpose of testing the statistical exogeneity of appliance dummy variables typically included in demand for electricity equations.

The Total and Appliance-Specific Conditional Demand for Electricity in the Household Sector

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of twelve monthly cross-section regression analyses of the household demand for electricity is presented, based upon a conditional demand framework, which can be used to disaggregate the total household demand into the component demand functions for electricity through the media of particular appliances, even though no direct observations on specific appliance energy usage exist.

Residential Demand for Electric Energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the determinants of residential demand for electric energy were investigated and it was shown that the long run own-price elasticity of demand is equal to at least unity, contrary to the common assumption that demand is not responsive to price.
