Tariff module

Tariffs are costs/earnings depending on weekdays and/or day times.

If you assign a tariff to a channel, it will overwrite the cost attribute.

If you don't need tariff, e.g. for constant compensations for electricity fed into the grid, you should use the cost attribute!

Overview

A tariff is defined by time slices, when the settings start and is valid without date limit.

If a cost changes e.g. for next year, create a new time slice with the new starting date.

You will see all your tariffs and the starting dates:

Master data

A tariff is described by a unique name and an optional description.

Time slice

A time slice for a tariff is defined by

• Starting date
• Fix cost per day, e.g. a basic fee for imports (optional)
• Time depended data
  • Starting time
  • Weekday
  • Cost

Simple

Simple example is a fix import rate, only changes each year, so the cost is for each weekday and any time the same.

Advanced

Here we have a tariff with peak and off-peak tariff times.

You are free to maintain this in 2 ways, the result will be the same.
