Purpose This paper aims to explain transitions in a socio-technical system characterized by non-economic entities that influence economic activity, i.e. embeddedness and coalitions. The selected socio-technical system is an Indian electric network with an interventionist policy. Its embeddedness and coalitions drive the transition. The insights from such analysis expand socio-technical transition theory and provide valuable insights to practitioners in their policymaking. Design/methodology/approach The authors need to observe the effects of non-economic institutions in their setting. Moreover, in India, the regional policies influence decision-making; therefore, selected two Indian states. The two Indian states, along with their non-economic entities, provided diverse analytic and heuristic views. Findings The findings show that coalitions, with their embeddedness in the absence of any mediating policy systems, act as external pressures and influence innovation and the socio-technical system’s transition trajectory. Their coalitions’ embeddedness follows a shaping, not selection logic. Thereby influence innovations in cumulating as stable designs. Such an approach provides benefits in the short-term but not in the long-term. Research limitations/implications The study selected two states and examined two of the four trajectories. By considering other states, the authors can obtain more renewable energy investments and further insights into the transformational trajectory. Practical implications The study highlights the coalition dynamics specific to the Indian electric power network and its transition trajectories. The non-economic entities influenced transition trajectories, innovation and policymaking of the socio-technical system. Originality/value The study expands the socio-technical transition theory by including embeddedness. The embeddedness brings a shaping logic instead of a selection logic.

“…If a customer takes advantage of the more detailed pricing, the utility company's costs will drop along with the customer's bill (Norford et al, 1998). The changes in prices are similar to congestion pricing, where customers are encouraged to cut their total energy consumption through a lower price incentive (Honkapuro, Tuunanen, Valtonen, & Partanen, 2014).…”

“…Lowering prices during off-peak business hours can move customers from on-peak demand to off-peak demand By moving customers from on-peak demand to off-peak demand can mitigate congestion and excess demand during on-peak periods.

This paper will analyze and consider the effect dynamic pricing (also known as: flexible pricing, demand pricing, time-based pricing and surge pricing) has on the current business environment and how it can potentially be applied to small to midsized brick and mortar service businesses specifically through the use of dynamic discounts. Utilizing a metasynthesis research method, this paper will analyze existing qualitative research and overarching themes and provide a simplified interpretation. The interpretation will be applied to several real-world use cases, analyzing the similarities and differences between those cases. This paper will propose a solution, that utilizes dynamic pricing through discounts to increase revenue by utilizing the metasynthesis and cases as justification.

“…DISCO's decision-maker role is very critical as enabler of the new energy technology in deregulated environment. DISCO's decision-maker role is influenced by social aspects, markets, end-use technology, society and infrastructure (Honkapuro et al, 2014). DISCO's decision-maker has to maintain fair competition among owners of end-use technologies, such as DGs.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate the locational marginal price (LMP) at each distributed generation (DG) bus based on DG unit contribution in loss reduction. This LMP value can be used by distribution company (DISCO) to control private DG owners and operate network optimally in terms of active power loss. Design/methodology/approach This paper proposes proportional nucleolus game theory (PNGT)-based iterative method to compute LMP at each DG unit. In this algorithm, PNGT has been used to identify the share of each DG unit in loss reduction. New mathematical modeling has been incorporated in the proposed algorithm to compute incentives being given to each DG owner. Findings The findings of this paper are that the LMP and reactive power price values for each DG unit were computed by the proposed method for the first time. Network can be operated with less loss and zero DISCO’s extra benefit, which is essential in deregulated environment. Fair competition has been maintained among private DG owners using the proposed method. Originality/value PNGT has been used for the first time for computation of LMP in distribution system based on loss reduction. Incentives to each DG unit has have been computed based on financial savings of DISCO due to loss reduction. Share of active and reactive power generation of each DG unit on change in active power loss of network due to that DG unit has been computed with new mathematical modeling. The proposed method provides LMP value to each DG unit in such a way that the network will be operated with less loss.
