extends TariffUpdate
Message sent by a broker to the subscribers to a particular tariff, requesting
them to curtail usage against that tariff in the specified timeslot.
The curtailmentRatio parameter specifies the portion of total usage that
will be curtailed for that timeslot, but the actual curtailment is also
constrained by the Rate in effect during that timeslot, so it might be less.
Customer models can interpret this ratio in two ways: First, it might be
that an individual customer reduces usage by that amount over what would
have been used otherwise; second, it might be that the specified proportion
of the population represented by the customer model is completely curtailed
during that timeslot.
