TeMix RATES™

TeMix RATES™ is an application of the TeMix technologies. It is a low-cost, complete system for coordinating investment and operations for all parties on a distribution grid.

RATES can support many tariffs (static or dynamic) such as Time-of-Use (TOU), Critical-Peak Pricing (CPP) and Real-Time Pricing (RTP). However, the power of RATES is fully realized using the Subscription Transactive Tariff (STT).

The STT’s subscription element supports customer and supplier bill stability and investment coordination. The transactive element coordinates operation of all electric devices and grid operations.

Importantly, most applications of RATES do not require regulatory or organizational changes such as the development of a centralized distribution system operator (DSO). The creation and approval of a STT for a set of customers is the first step to deploy RATES.

ABOUT TEMIX TICKER™

The middle row shows the tendered retail electricity price in $/kWh for the next 5-minute, 15-minute and one-hour intervals up to the last hour of tomorrow. The start time for each interval is shown in the top row. The prices use current wholesale California ISO locational prices for the Moorpark Southern California Edison transmission substation augmented by scarcity prices for distribution, resource adequacy and flexible resource adequacy based on an experimental tariff. The bottom row shows the forecasted marginal Lbs of CO2 or Green House Gases (GHG) released per kWh for the same intervals. The CHG estimates are from WattTime.org. The ticker automatically updates from time to time based on the California ISO publication schedule.
