claimIn the context of energy management systems, IBR stands for Inclined block rate.

claimThe combination of Inclined Block Rate (IBR) with Real-time pricing (RTP) or Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing improves energy cost and system stability, according to Zhao et al. (2013).

claimInclined Block Rate (IBR) pricing can be paired with Real-time pricing (RTP) or Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing to connect energy consumption levels to electricity prices, where consumption falling below a certain threshold results in lower prices.

claimRahim et al. (2016) employed ant colony optimization (ACO) based on time-of-use (TOU) and inclining block rates (IBR) to decrease residential energy usage, successfully lowering peak load, peak-to-average ratio (PAR), and energy expenditures without negatively impacting customer satisfaction.
