tsSE_PricePublishPriceCmdPayload#

This structure is used to hold price information to be added to a price list of a Price cluster:

typedef struct {
    uint8               u8UnitOfMeasure;
    uint8               u8PriceTrailingDigitAndPriceTier;
    uint8               u8NumberOfPriceTiersAndRegisterTiers;

} tsSE_PricePublishPriceCmdPayload;

where:

u8UnitOfMeasure indicates the resource (e.g. electricity) and unit of measure (e.g. kWh) for the pricing (see Section 42.10.3)
u8PriceTrailingDigitAndPriceTier is an 8-bit bitmap indicating the price tier and the number of digits after the decimal point in the price:
- The 4 most significant bits give the number of digits to the right of the decimal point in the price
- The 4 least significant bits give the price tier in the range 1 to 6
u8NumberOfPriceTiersAndRegisterTiers is an 8-bit bitmap indicating the number of price tiers available and the particular tier that the price information in the structure relates to:
- The 4 most significant bits give the number of available price tiers in the range 0 to 6
- The 4 least significant bits give the price tier used in the range 1 to 6
  
  (this value must be less than or equal to the value in the 4 leading bits)
u8PriceRatio (optional) is the ratio of the price quoted in u32Price to the ‘normal’ price offered by the utility company. The actual price ratio should be multiplied by 10 for encoding this field, so that a field value of 0x01 represents 0.1 and 0xFE represents 25.4, while 0xFF indicates that the field is not used
u8GenerationPriceRatio (optional) is the ratio of the price quoted in u32GenerationPrice to the ‘normal’ price offered by the utility company. The actual price ratio should be multiplied by 10 for encoding this field, so that a field value of 0x01 represents 0.1 and 0xFE represents 25.4, while 0xFF is reserved to indicate that the field is not used
u8AlternateCostUnit (optional) is an 8-bit bitmap indicating the unit for the alternative cost in u32AlternateCostDelivered. Currently, the only supported unit is kilograms of CO2, indicated by the value 0x01
u8AlternateCostTrailingDigit (optional) is an 8-bit bitmap in which the 4 most significant bits indicate the number of digits after the decimal point in u32AlternateCostDelivered (the 4 least significant bits are reserved)
u8NumberOfBlockThresholds is reserved for future use (for Block mode)
u8PriceControl is reserved for future use (for Block mode)
u16Currency indicates the currency (e.g. Euro) used for the price - this field should be set to the appropriate value defined by ISO 4217
u16DurationInMinutes indicates the duration, in minutes, for which the price will be valid (0xFFFF indicates that price will remain valid until changed)
u32ProviderId is an identifier for the utility company
u``32IssuerEventId is a unique identifier for the price information - the higher its value, the more recently the price information was issued (a UTC time-stamp could be used in this field)
u``32StartTime indicates the start-time (UTC) for the price, in seconds. The special value 0x00000000 denotes a start-time of ‘now’
u``32Price is the resource price per unit indicated in u8UnitOfMeasure, expressed in the currency indicated in u16Currency, with the position of the decimal point as indicated in u8PriceTrailingDigitAndPriceTie``r
u``32GenerationPrice (optional) is the resource price per unit indicated in u8UnitOfMeasure, expressed in the currency indicated in u16Currency and with the position of the decimal point as indicated in u8PriceTrailingDigitAndPriceTier, for a resource that is generated on the customer premises and supplied to the utility company (e.g. solar-sourced electric power supplied to the national grid). A value of 0xFFFFFFFF indicates that this field is not used
u32AlternateCostDelivered (optional) indicates an alternative cost (per resource consumption unit) which is measured by a means other than monetary - for example, the amount of CO2 emitted per unit of gas consumed This alternative cost is interpreted as specified by u8AlternateCostUnit and u8AlternateCostTrailingDigit
sRateLabel is a string of up to 12 characters containing a label for the price information in the structure
