Re: [emix] Tiered Pricing
Bruce and all --

    

    Some management-style3 questions...

    

    Much of this is structured for the California block and tier
    tariffs, is it not?

    

    How much is SEP2 information model to reflect that?

    

    How fluid is that information model? Is it a moving target?  Is it
    anchored (at least for 2.00) by the block and tier tariffs above?

    

    Thanks!

When defining the
                  problem think of Time of
                  Use Intervals as tiers that encapsulate consumption
                  blocks (which are defined
                  in emix as blockPowerFullRequirements). This is the
                  Zigbee slide in the link I
                  provided.

            
 

            

            
I do not
                  understand enough about what you
                  are proposing to say if it will work. It needs to be
                  reflected in EiQuote somehow.
                  The SE2 Price message I provided does not attempt to
                  get slick with recurrences.
                  They just publish a schedule that looks like above but
                  with dates and times.

The
                  solution I believe is to use
                  power:blockPowerFullRequirements (which has tiers)
                  inside each interval through the day. In this way we
                  can state what the tiers
                  are for each hour of the day and have the size (of the
                  tiers) and or prices
                  (for each tier) vary within that interval.

            
 

            
If
                  we are communicating day-ahead communication of tiers,
                  that is all we need.

            
 

            
As
                  a further issue, there may be a desire to template the
                  communications, i.e., to
                  state weekdays vs weekends (assuming they had
                  different price tiers). This we
                  could accomplish by:

            
1)     
                      Building
              two unscheduled
              sequences, as above.

            
2)     
                      Sending
              5 gluons (for M-F) starts
              referencing one sequence, and two gluons (for Sa-Su)
              starts.

            
 

            
Alternately,
                  one could want to announce that a particular tiered
                  pricing in in place during
                  the summer months. This could be done by a Gluon with
                  two vavailabilitys
                  (weekdays and weekends), and having each vavaialbility
                  reference the appropriate
                  sequence.

            
 

            
Do
                  we need more than that?
