      org.powertac.common.HourlyCharge

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<HourlyCharge>

public class HourlyCharge
extends XStreamStateLoggable
implements Comparable<HourlyCharge>

Represents the cost of power during a specific timeslot in a variable Rate. The value slot represents the charge/kWh; atTime is the Instant at the start of the relevant timeslot. Therefore, the charge is in effect from atTime until atTime + 1 hour. These are created by brokers and sent to the server to update tariff pricing.

Constructor Detail

HourlyCharge

public HourlyCharge(org.joda.time.Instant when,
                    double charge)

Creates a new HourlyCharge to communicate rate information to customers. The when parameter specifies when this charge takes effect. The specified charge/kWh applies until the next HourlyCharge takes effect on the same Rate. Note that the numbers are interpreted from the viewpoint of the Customer, so if the customer is expected to pay the broker, the value should be negative (a debit).
