Time‐phased electricity package design for electricity retailers considering bounded rationality of consumers

Abstract The ever‐increasing competition in electricity retail markets has become one of the pivotal causes for electricity retailers to provide attractive packages to consumers for enhancing their market shares. Based on the current user‐side time‐of‐use electricity price mechanism in China, a bi‐l...
