Transmission system operators apply selective load shedding plans to prevent system wide interruptions and blackouts due to generation and transmission adequacy issues. If the load-shedding plan is activated, the electricity supply is intentionally switched off in indicated areas for a fixed period of time. The burden of load-shedding plans thus falls on a subset of consumers, while the benefits accrue to all consumers. This results in public opposition as illustrated with the publication of the load shedding plan in Belgium in the winter of 2014 - 2015. To improve the social acceptability of load-shedding plans, we analyzed the unfairness of load-shedding plans based on Gini-based inequality indices and studied a top-down socialized compensation scheme and bottom-up priority service contracts to indirectly reduce the unfairness. The analysis is executed for a simplified version of the Belgian load-shedding plan for the winter of 2014 - 2015. |
