The Pricing Impact Simulation Model (PRISM) Suite is the companion database to “Quantifying the Benefits of Dynamic Pricing in the Mass Market” (in Reports) and extends models based on the 2003-2005 California Statewide Pricing Pilot to estimate the change in consumption per customer resulting from dynamic pricing programs. The PRISM Suite allows the user to input a dynamic rate structure, load shapes, weather data, and CAC saturations, then estimates customer bill savings and as well as utility benefits such as capacity cost savings, energy cost savings, and transmission and distribution cost savings. The PRISM Suite is a powerful tool for evaluating the benefits of dynamic pricing programs to both the customer and the utility.
