Interface CustomerModelAccessor

  • public interface CustomerModelAccessor
    Defines an interface for access to customer model details that support tariff evaluation. This includes generation of per-tariff customer usage/production profiles. Required by TariffEvaluationHelper. Profiles can be for a full day, a full week, or whatever time period makes sense for the customer. Usage may be for a single individual customer or for the entire population. Results are normalized by the tariff evaluation process, so the only requirement is that all profiles for a given customer use the same time period (and the same weather), and the same population.
