abstract = {The regulatory framework influences households’ decisions
in the context of the energy transition, affecting the
potential for CO2 emissions savings and the operation of the
electrical network infrastructure. In this paper, the
profitability and optimal operation of alternative home
energy systems (HESs) consisting of photovoltaics (PV),
battery energy storage (BES), and either a gas condensing
boiler (GB) or an electrical air-to-water heat pump (HP) is
investigated for the case of a German single-family house
and across alternative regulatory scenarios. Two policy
reforms are considered: (i) an alternative design of network
tariffs, the objectives of which are the financial
sustainability and the efficient operation of the power
grid, as well as the cost reflectivity of such charges; and
(ii) a CO2-oriented reform of energy taxes and surcharges on
retail energy prices. For the latter, the real-time carbon
intensity of grid electricity is estimated and priced in
dynamic retail electricity rates. After the optimization of
the operation of each alternative HES under such alternative
sets of price signals, a simulation over a 20-year planning
horizon is carried out in order to evaluate each option in
terms of profitability, impact on CO2 emissions and grid
integration. The findings show how a change of regulatory
framework can foster a low-carbon-oriented and grid-friendly
adoption and operation of energy technologies. In the case
under analysis, a regulatory shift: (i) results in a
decrease of up to $17\%$ in the discounted lifetime costs of
the HP heating, thereby steering the household’s adoption
decision towards a reduction of up to $63\%$ in CO2
emissions; (ii) induces a grid-oriented operation of the HP
and the BES, reducing coincident peak demand by up to
$62\%.$ The implications of such a regulatory shift are
discussed in relation to the effectiveness, cost efficiency
and distributional fairness of the energy transition in the
residential sector.},
