This Decision Flow calculates the final rate that a consumer should be paying based on seasonality and usage by processing inputs such as region, percentage of grid load, current energy price, and temperature.

Solution components:
  • A Decision Table named Tariff Tier assigns a specific tier (e.g., Super-Off-Peak, Critical Peak) and a baseRate based on the percentage of grid load, the current energy price, and the temperature.
  • A Decision Table named Regional Multiplier assigns a rate multiplier and an adjustment type (such as "Heatwave Surcharge" or "Conservation Credit") based on the input region and the previously calculated tariffTier.
  • A Decision Table named Meter Command determines if a notification is required (Yes/No) and selects the appropriate command (e.g., PUSH_ALERT, SET_RATE) for the smart meter based on the tariffTier and baseRate.
  • A Decision Flow orchestrates these Decision Tables:
    • It first gathers inputs to execute the Tariff Tier rule, establishing the baseline cost.
    • It passes the resulting tier to the Regional Multiplier rule to determine the seasonal impact.
    • It calculates the final rate
    • Finally, it executes the Meter Command rule to output the necessary alerts or hardware commands.
Use this Decision Flow as a dynamic pricing engine to automate real-time energy billing adjustments and smart meter alerts based on fluctuating grid conditions
