This report includes several papers on modeling and forecasting electricity demands by time-of-day that were presented at a workshop in San Diego, June 11-14, 1978. The papers and the accompanying discussants' comments present a cross section of the state of the art in research on the responsiveness of electricity demands to time-of-day rates. Preliminary analyses of several residential peak-load-pricing experiments present diverse estimates of the responsiveness of household electricity demand to time-of-day prices. As yet, there are few results that are directly applicable to utility forecasting and planning, however these analyses undoubtedly lay the foundation for useful results in the near future. There is only a small amount of data and even less analysis on the price responsiveness of load patterns in the commercial and industrial sectors. The volume is concluded with several insightful commentators' overviews of where the state of the art is and where it ought to be extended.
