Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The focus of the study is to theoretically assess tank-water demand and employ methods to establish the actual tank-water demand at selected houses in a case study area. This study also examines the influence of domestic rainwater harvesting systems when used in combination with a municipal water distribution system. The case study comprises of 410 low cost housing units in the Western Cape. The system demand patterns of low cost housing units are uncharacteristic, when compared with suburban system demand patterns, and cannot

Abstract:

This report investigates the effects a demand based tariff would have on private electricity consumers and how it could contribute to a sustainable electrical grid. The fuse tariff that is currently used charges customers for their electricity usage and does not fully reflect the electrical grid load and thereby not the cost for the distribution system operators. A demand based tariff, that charges customers for their power peaks and promotes a change of behaviour better reflects the grid load and could lead to a more even grid distribution and a sustainable development. In light of this issue

I Sverige står hushållen för en stor del av den slutliga elanvändningen och deras konsumtionsmönster bidrar till att skapa höga förbrukningstoppar, särskilt under vintermånaderna när elbehovet är som störst.

Idag utnyttjas inte efterfrågeflexibilitet i någon större utsträckning, förutom den från vissa elintensiva industrier. Den flexibla kapacitet enskilda hushåll skulle kunna bidra med är naturli

The ability for domestic consumers to provide demand response to dynamic electricity pricing will become increasingly valuable for integrating the high penetrations of renewables that are expected to be connected to electricity networks in the future.

The concept of CSR is increasingly important in society, and firms are expected to be profitable while ethical. Deciding how to best engage in CSR activities can be difficult, but using a supply-and-demand framework can help firms to maximize their CSR activities. However, the demand for CSR has been proven difficult to measure, but can perhaps be established when dividing the demand into different components. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate how consumer awareness, attitude, and buying behavior, in relation to CSR, affect each other; to establish a measurement for consume

Abstract:

When consumers are able to buy electricity on an hourly instead of monthly basis, the demand side flexibility is likely to increase. One way to lower the cost of electricity is to move consumption from peak price hours to low price hours, a sort of inter-temporal substitution were the net energy use is unaffected. By simulating one example of inter-temporal substitution in the Swedish spot market during 2008-2010, we show that the general welfare effects are small in terms of a more efficient energy production, but that the transfer of resources from producers to consumers is large.

Abstract:

Affordability of energy in the domestic sector is the product of three interrelated factors - level of household income, level of energy bills (which are a product of prices and levels of energy demand, mediated by tariffs and the retail market), and the amount of energy that a household needs to maintain a healthy living environment. This thesis focusses on the factors of affordability which are most relevant to the energy policy which are energy bills and energy efficiency, both of which are considered in the context of household income.

That is, there are many 'plausible' ways to evaluate a given scenario.

Abstract:

Estimation of price sensitivity from real world data is typically complicated by a dependence between price and demand, or endogeneity of price, since prices are regularly varied in anticipation of changes to demand. This problem is particularly severe in customised pricing environments, where sellers have some freedom to quote different prices for different orders, based on information about each customer and their order. When endogeneity is left untreated and price is modelled as an independent predictor, this leads to underestimation of price sensitivity and sub-optimal pricing strategies.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Frank Gollop<br>My doctoral dissertation consists of three essays on consumer behavior. The first chapter studies demand for experience goods. Consumers behave very differently when they do not have perfect information about all brands available on a shelf. This paper extends the benchmark discrete choice model of consumer demand to capture two distinct features of experience-goods markets: prior brand experience and shopping frequency. Although the current literature incorporates habit formation in consumer demand models, it has not considered a more fundamental question: how

Abstract:

Although it remains a tea consuming nation, both production and consumption of coffee in China has been increasing at double-digit rates and is not expected to slow down (International Coffee Organization (ICO), 2015). With investments and upward trends in production and rapid increases in consumption of coffee in China it is important for producers and retailers of the bean1 in China to understand the new Chinese coffee consumer. Using survey data from Wuhan, China we help understand the Chinese coffee consumer by explaining their consumption using standard OLS regression. Results show that w

Abstract:

Long before the first pitch is thrown, the first snap is taken or the first puck is dropped, organizations in the professional sports industry set their ticket prices. The secondary ticket market, on the other hand, has grown into a billion dollar industry and gages the consumer’s true willingness to pay. This study examines the myriad of factors that influence the secondary market ticket price of a professional sports game across the MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL during the 2013-2014 regular season. Using median ticket prices from a secondary market ticket aggregator, the results indicate that weeke

Abstract:

The Australian renewable energy industry represents an opportunity for Australia to move away from a reliance on fossil fuels and harness clean and secure energy for the future. The GreenPower initiative has been implemented to help facilitate the growth of this industry, by providing consumers with the option to pay a premium for electricity generated by renewable sources. This initiative gives customers a degree of control over the development of renewable generated electricity capacity, which can be encouraged by both governments and energy utilities for mutual benefit. Governments and

Abstract:

Most Asian economies have grown impressively during the past 30 years. Asia continues to be both the fastest-growing region in the world and the main growth engine of the world economy, contributing to more than 60% of global economic growth. Such robust, prolonged growth has clearly raised incomes, lifted millions out of poverty and given rise to new wealth and the emergence of a new rich class in Asia. The economic transformation of Asia, combined with globalization, has led Asian consumers towards greater discretionary spending, while providing ample expansion potential for businesses and i

Abstract:

Over the past two decades, Australian consumption patterns have changed for various reasons, including increases in consumers’ real income; rising consumers’ demand for goods and services; and technical and structural changes in the Australian economy. Economic reforms, such as the restructure and deregulation of a range of service industries, reduction in the level of trade protection provided to goods-producing industries, reductions in tax concessions and subsidies to agricultural sectors, have resulted in substantial changes in the relative prices of consumer goods and services.
