Settlement¶
Settlement is the post-session financial computation that calculates each member's revenues and costs for a given 15-minute ISP. It runs automatically after market clearing.
What Settlement Computes¶
For each session, settlement produces:
- Member-level results (
SettlementMember) — total revenue per member - Resource-level results (
SettlementResource) — breakdown by resource - CPE-level results (
SettlementCPEs) — grid interaction per smart meter - REC-level aggregates (
SettlementREC) — community totals
Revenue & Cost Fields¶
All values are in € per ISP (15-minute interval). Positive = revenue; negative = cost.
| Field | Sign | Description |
|---|---|---|
rev_total |
± | Total revenue or cost during the ISP. Includes all LEM compensations paid/received, flat fees, grid-access tariffs, and retailer compensations |
rev_total_no_csc |
± | Total revenue/cost under a hypothetical individual self-consumption (ISC) scenario — without participating in the REC |
savings |
± | rev_total − rev_total_no_csc. Positive means the member saves money by participating in the REC |
rev_sup |
− | Cost from energy supplied by retailers (necessarily negative) |
rev_sur |
+ | Revenue from surplus energy sold to retailers (necessarily positive) |
rev_sale |
+ | Revenue from selling energy in the LEM (excluding flat fees) |
rev_pur |
− | Cost from buying energy in the LEM (excluding grid-access tariffs) |
rev_slc_soc |
− | Grid-access tariffs applied to self-consumed energy from LEM transactions |
rev_lem_fee |
− | Flat fees applied to energy sold in LEM transactions |
rev_lem_trd |
± | Net LEM trading result (rev_sale + rev_pur) |
rev_slc_soc |
− | Social self-consumption credit (CSC tariff charge) |
rev_total_pow |
± | Power component of revenue (network charges) |
Energy Fields¶
All values in kWh per ISP.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
e_sup |
Energy supplied from retailers to the member/resource/REC |
e_sur |
Surplus energy sold to retailers by the member/resource/REC |
e_sale |
Energy sold in the LEM |
e_pur |
Energy purchased in the LEM |
KPIs and Optional Data¶
Some KPIs require additional optional inputs to be computed:
| KPI | Requires |
|---|---|
CSC vs ISC savings comparison (savings) |
Valid retailer contracts for each CPE |
Surplus revenue (rev_sur) |
Aggregator contract and surplus data |
LEM transaction fees (rev_lem_fee) |
lem_trading_fee set on community |
Grid-access tariffs (rev_slc_soc) |
ERSE tariff files uploaded |
Missing contracts
If contract data is not provided for a CPE, cost-related KPIs (supplier costs, savings) cannot be computed for members behind that meter.
Billing Guides¶
After settlement, billing guides can be generated as Excel or PDF reports summarising each member's financial results for a given date range. These include:
- Total revenue and cost breakdown per member
- Settlement per resource and CPE
- Community-level aggregated summary
See the Settlement Guide for full formula documentation.
