The On-Demand Cost Calculation endpoint calculates the cost of a service (e.g. Electricity, Natural Gas, Solar PV production) for a given tariff for a given amount of usage over a specified period of time. This can be used to calculate a past bill, to project month-to-date costs, to “what-if” different tariff rate plans and electives, or to compare changes in electricity or other usage.

To run the calculation, the endpoint needs to know what tariff to use and the inputs that drive the rates. These inputs typically include consumption (kWh) but can also include other values such as:

  • demand (kW)
  • applicability criteria, e.g. whether the consumer lives inside or outside of city limits
  • quantity of other items, e.g. tariffs that are priced based on the number of billing meters at the facility

The accuracy of the calculation is dependent on the accuracy and granularity of the inputs the calculator uses. For example, a time-of-use (TOU) tariff will have different prices depending on the time of day the consumption occurred. Passing in an hourly load profile will generate very accurate calculations. On the other hand, passing in an aggregate consumption such as the monthly total will generate a less accurate calculation since we do not know precisely at what time of the day this consumption occurred. When you don’t pass in all of the information that is required, the calculator will make a best-guess to a value to use (e.g. it will estimate the TOU breakdown of your energy usage). You can see what inputs were used to generate a given calculation as these are returned along with the calculation.

Data Definitions

Calculated Cost

The CalculatedCost object contains the results of the calculation. The totalCost field holds the overall cost while the details of the calculation are contained within a list of Calculated Cost Item(s).

Property Data

The PropertyData object is used both as an input object, as part of the propertyInputs list, and also as an output object when returned in the assumptions list.

Every valid keyName that you can use in a PropertyData is available via our Property Key API. This will tell you its meta-data, such as its title, description, data type and possible values.

PropertyData has the following data structure:

Name Type Fields Description
keyName String M The key name of the property associated with this input. The most common one will be consumption (which is the kWh for the period), and second most common is demand (kW), but can also be applicability properties like cityLimits or hasElectricVehicle (Required on input)
displayName String M A display-friendly name for this property. (Output only)
description String E A text description of this property. (Output only)
fromDateTime DateTime M The start of the period where this property is applicable.
(Optional, Default= fromDateTime for the calculation request)
toDateTime DateTime M The end of the period where this property is applicable.
(Optional, Default= toDateTime for the calculation request)
period String M The Time of Use type: OFF_PEAK, PARTIAL_PEAK, ON_PEAK or CRITICAL_PEAK.
As input, can alternatively be specified as a Date Period
dataType Enumeration M The type of this property. Possible values are: STRING, CHOICE, BOOLEAN, DATE, DECIMAL, INTEGER, and FORMULA (Output only)
dataValue String M The value to use for this property. Can be input as the native type, but when populated will be returned as a string. (Required on input when not using dataSeries)
dataSeries Array of Decimal   Used for properties which have many values, such as consumption time series data. (Required on input when not using dataValue). When used in conjunction with exportDataSeries, the dataSeries represents the imports from the grid with exports to the grid defined in the exportDataSeries
exportDataSeries Array of Decimal   Used to specify the time series data for power exported to the grid. This is used in conjunction with the dataSeries to create a series of import and export readings for tariffs with real time netting (instantaneous netting).
duration Integer   Used with dataSeries to specify the time span corresponding to each value in the dataSeries. (Required on input when using dataSeries)
dataFactor Decimal   For applicable properties (like usage data) scales the inputs by the value provided (Optional, Input Only)
operator Enumeration   For profile data only. Specifies how profiles should be joined. Possible values are + and -.
unit String M Where applicable, this is the unit of the value. Most common are: "kWh" - for keys of consumption, "kW" - for keys of demand. (Optional)
accuracy Decimal [0,100] M Estimated accuracy of the property value. Properties which you set explicitly will have an accuracy value of 100. (Output only)

Property Data in requests propertyInputs

As an object used for inputs, you will pass in zero or more PropertyData records to set calculation properties via the propertyInputs parameter. For example, if you tell the calculator that your customer is enrolled in the “SmartRate” program, you would pass in that program’s keyName and dataValue:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
"propertyInputs": [
    {
        "keyName": "isSmartRateCustomer",
        "dataValue": true
    }, 
    ...
]

When passing in inputs, we require the keyName and dataValue (for one value) or dataSeries and duration (for multiple). Typically, that’s all that is required. However, where necessary, you can set some of the other fields too, such as fromDateTime and toDateTime. You do not need to pass in informational fields such as dataType or description as these are defined by the property’s meta-data.

Property Data returned in responses assumptions

The assumptions in the CalculatedCost response is a list of PropertyData. It will tell you what assumptions were made for a particular calculation and what propertyInputs might be need to be added or updated to a rerun of the calculation in order to make it more accurate. The API will usually return the dataValue or dataSeries of the value that was actually used, if there is one.

In this example the calculator returned an assumption for isSmartRateCustomer(an optional program that some customer enroll in on this tariff). In this case the calculator didn’t know if they were enrolled (because the accuracy is less than 100 percent) and so assumed they were not enrolled (dataValue of false). If that assumption is wrong (they were in fact enrolled) then this Property Data can be explicitly passed back into the calculator via propertyInputs with a dataValue of true:

    "dataType": "BOOLEAN",
    "dataValue": "false",
    "accuracy": 80
  }, 
  ...
]

Minimum and Maximum assumptions

When running a calculation with minimums set to true, if the calculation results in minumum charges above the pre-tax total costs, or similarly, maximum charges below the pre-tax total costs, the results will be adjusted up to the minimum cost, or down to the maximum cost, respectfully. When this occurs, you will see an assumption entry for each billing period that this occured in. In the example below, we see that for the May bill, the pre-tax costs for all transmission, distribution and supply costs were above a maximum specified in the rates, so the pre-tax costs where adjusted down by $6982.31 (as defined in the dataValue field). Maximums are very rare, but minumums are more common. In the case of a minimum adjustment, the keyName will be mininum and the dataValue will be the amount added to the pre-tax costs to meet the minimum specified in the tariffs rates.

Request Parameters

Along with the required security parameters, the following parameters are available as part of the request:

Name Type Description
masterTariffId Long Unique Genability ID for the master tariff of this tariff version. (Required)
fromDateTime DateTime Starting date and time for this calculation. (Required)
toDateTime DateTime End date and time for this calculation. (Required)
propertyInputs Array of PropertyData This is where you’ll specify the usage data and applicabilities for the calculation.
expected Map Set expectations on calculation results (totalCost, adjustedTotalCost, kWh, kW) to enable accuracy validation. (Optional) See an example
billingPeriod Boolean A true or false flag. If the dates of the calculation represent an actual billing cycle, then you should set this to true. This will give you precise values for items like fixed charges. When it’s not set, or set to false, these charges will be prorated across the number of days in the calculation. (Optional, Default=false)
detailLevel Enumeration Toggles the level of details for the calculation result. Examples (Optional, Default=ALL)
groupBy Enumeration This controls how the calculation details are grouped. Examples (Optional, Defaults to the natural grouping for the rates)
minimums Boolean This field enables enforcing minimum charges on this calculation. (Optional, Default=false)
excludeChargeClass Command Separated String Specifies a charge class to exclude from the calculation results. Available options are TRANSMISSION, DISTRIBUTION, SUPPLY, TAX, CONTRACTED, USER_ADJUSTED, AFTER_TAX, and OTHER. (Optional)
zipCode String (Optional and usually not needed) See below for the cases when you need location data. When populating this field you should also populate country too.
country ISO Country Code Use this when passing in a zipCode or postCode, and set it to the ISO Country Code of your zipCode since some countries use the same format (Use with zipCode)
address Address An alternative to using zipCode and country. (Optional and usually not needed)
tariffEffectiveOn DateTime This field enables doing a calculation with a single, specified version of a given tariff. For example, if the user specifies that they want to use the 2016-01-01 version of PG&E’s E-1 tariff, any calculation, whether it’s for 2013, 2015, or 2016, would use the rate data from that version and only that version of the tariff. (Optional)
rateInputs Array of TariffRate The rate input values are used to override existing rates on the tariff during the calculation. This enables modeling and/or setting customer specific rates during a calculation. (Optional)
applyUtilityTax Boolean When true, the calculation attempts to apply a utility tax to the provided location. (Optional, Default = true when zipCode and country, or address provided, false otherwise)

Address

You don’t usually need to provide any location information with the On-Demand Cost Calculator. However, for some cases there is a requirement to have a zipcode and country in order to look up location specific information. Examples include:

  • when the tariff has rates that vary by baseline region and you aren’t specifying the baseline’s territoryId
  • you are a Utilty customer and want to apply utility taxes for a location to the results

The best way to specify the location is to explicitly provide a zipCode and a country (see above). However, if you don’t have these but have some other address fields or maybe geographic coordinates, you can use the address fields below. We will use our Geocoding service (currently Google) to look up the zipCode and a country.

Name Type Description
addressString String Full free text string representing address. This is the property that is usually passed in. Zip will suffice but the full address is better.
addressName String A name associated with the address (e.g. Headquarters). Not usually set.
address1 String First part of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
address2 String Second part of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
city String City of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
state String State of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
zip String Postcode or ZIP code of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
country String Usually the ISO Country Code of the address. Usually populated by our address validation from the addressString passed in.
lon Double Longitude of the address. We’ll populate this by geo-tagging the address.
lat Double Latitude of the address. We’ll populate this by geo-tagging the address.

Examples

Example 1 - Calculate last month’s bill

Example where you pass in the tariff and usage data for last month’s billing period. In this case the usage data is hourly consumption numbers, passed in as a contiguous data series.

Example 2 - Calculate with expected values

This example passes in values for Total Cost, Adjusted Total Cost and Total kWh (typically comes from the billing data or CIS system). This triggers Signal’s real-time calculation QA process. Note that the consumption input is set as a single value, not a series like the previous example.

Example 4 - Competitive Electric Supply, Community Choice Aggregation and other rate overrides

The calculate method accepts rates as inputs, allowing you to set a contracted rate amount on a deregulated tariff or, more generally, to model “what-if” scenarios with a tariff.

4a: Competitive Electric Supply

In deregulated markets, customers can purchase electricity or gas from a third-party supplier rather than the distributing utility. To calculate costs in these scenarios, the calculate method accepts rates as inputs via rateInputs allowing you to define the “contracted” rate or rate structure. This contracted rate can be used within the calculation, overriding the bypassable rates. Contracted rates can include:

rateInputs is an array of TariffRate, and can include one or more rates of any charge type. For example, if you want to set a customer’s supply rate to 5¢/kWh for a calculation, you would pass in the following:

This call would result in the passed in $0.05 replacing all the contracted (also called bypassable) rates with the override rate amount provided. All non-contracted charges would continue to be calculated as before.

4b: Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)

Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) allows communities to choose to offer their residents alternative electric supply while continuing to have their electricity delivered by their local distribution utility. In such an arrangement the supply charges are from the CCA (e.g. Marin Clean Energy) and the transmission & distribution charges are from the distributing utility (e.g. Pacific Gas & Electric).

While we model CCA tariffs in their entirety, we also enable the calculation from the distributing utility’s point of view. The parameter is excludeChargeClass and you provide the charge class you would like to exclude. For example, to exclude the supply charges for a CCA customer (the distributing utility’s point of view), you make the following call:

    }]
}

4c: Modeling rate change using factors

Overriding the calculation factor allows the user to model changes to rate amounts or apply discounts to the tariff during the calculation based on the chargeType or chargeClass. For example, to simulate the effect of a 10% increase in the consumption rate amounts, the following would be passed to the calculate method:

Example 5 - Calculating rates with tax inputs

Calculations can also be performed with tax rate inputs. Simply pass in the tax rate as a tariff rate input using the chargeType set to "TAX". Tax rates are calculated using the subtotal from the calculated amount. Either a rate percentage or specific rate dollar amount can be used. Optionally, you can set the rateName and rateGroup so the returned cost items can be broken out.

Example 6 - Overriding Critical Peak Rates in a Calculation

This example demonstrates how to pass in custom critical peak time of use intervals. The purpose of this feature is to run a calculation with a different critical peak than the one otherwise provided by the tariff. Multiple custom critical peak times can be passed in to simulate a varying number of critical peak events. Custom critical peak intervals are passed in to the customTimeOfUseIntervals parameter, which contains a list of time of use intervals to be overriden. The response will then have its critical peak items shift to the interval that was passed in. However, none of the other time of use intervals will change. Note that at this time, only critical peak time of use intervals are supported by this feature.
