Workshop for Utilities, DR Designers and Program Implementers Planning to Use OpenADR 2.0
This one-day workshop is designed for utilities and others interested in implementing Demand Response programs using the OpenADR 2.0 technology.
The automation of Demand Response programs is forecast to grow significantly over the next decade. Utilities are determining how to put in place the most efficient, lowest cost systems to support increased scaling and automation of these programs.
A new, open standard for communicating DR events and information between utilities and their customers opens a flexible, competitive landscape of vendors and equipment. But what is the best design for DR programs to take advantage of this new landscape or, alternatively, how can the new standard best be used to implement the planned programs?
The “Implementing Automated DR Programs” Workshop focuses specifically on using OpenADR 2, arguably the most adopted of any open standard for Demand Response program messaging between utilities and their C&I customers.

About the Instructor
The Workshop will be led by Jim Zuber, QualityLogic’s Chief Test Architect and co-founder, and architect of several QualityLogic testing products.
In July of last year, the OpenADR Alliance selected QualityLogic to develop the certification test suite for OpenADR 2.0, and Jim led this development effort. Jim is intimately familiar with the OpenADR 2.0 specification, authored the OpenADR Test Specification and PICS, designed the certification test harness, and was a major contributor to the profile specification itself.
