Tariffs should be able to specify multiple power types #1066

Open jecollins opened 3 years ago

jecollins commented 3 years ago

Currently, each tariff specifies a single PowerType, and tariffs specify single PowerTypes. This means it's not currently possible to model common tariff designs such as net-metering for customers that have both household consumption and solar production, or solar installations with batteries. It might be possible to handle this with additional PowerType definitions. Is this the right approach?

Another approach would be to move the PowerType specification to the Rate rather than the Tariff, or add another PowerType MULTIPLE that can include different Rates for different PowerTypes.
