Method Details
- getMarketBalance
  
  double getMarketBalance(org.powertac.common.Broker broker)
  
  Returns the market balance for a given broker.
- getRegulation
  
  double getRegulation(org.powertac.common.Broker broker)
  
  Returns the net regulation energy (positive for up-regulation, negative for down-regulation) for a given broker.
- getPPlusPrime
  
  Double getPPlusPrime()
  
  Returns the slope of cost curve for up-regulation. Total cost for up-regulation by x kwh is pPlus + x * pPlusPrime. Note that x is positive for up-regulation.
- getPMinusPrime
  
  Double getPMinusPrime()
  
  Returns the slope of cost curve for down-regulation. Total cost for down-regulation by x kwh is pMinus + x * pMinusPrime. Note that x is negative for down-regulation.
- getBalancingCost
  
  Double getBalancingCost()
  
  Returns the per-timeslot charge for running the balancing market
- getDefaultSpotPrice
  
  Double getDefaultSpotPrice()
  
  Returns the value used for spot price per MWh if unavailable from wholesale market.
