In association with Sweco Energuide, two different futurescenarios have been developed regarding how the power gridcustomers might use the power grid in 10 years. In the firstscenario, scenario high load, the customers will not use anyenergy storage or load management. As a result their power demandwill increase drastically. If the customers act as in the secondscenario, scenario low load, they will see the potential ininvesting in energy storage and load management to reduce theirpower grid costs. The study has explored the economic incentivesto invest in scenario low load, which factors will affect thechoice of scenario low load and what will push the customers tochoose between the scenarios.The purpose of the study has been fulfilled by hearing theexperts’ prognosis for the future and doing a net present valueanalysis to examine the economic incentives. Power grid companieswill charge the maximal power output and if the customer do notmake any active choices it will lead to higher electrical costs.The economic incentives are mainly dependent on which choices thecustomers make regarding how the car is charged. By choosing lowercharge power and by consuming the power during time periods withlower electrical costs the customer can find incentives to act asscenario low load. If there is a time dynamic tariff theincentives increases. Even though the battery technologies andload management techniques are constantly developed the costs aretoo high and reduce the profitability of scenario low load.
