Pre-Conference Workshop 1: Implementing Demand Response using OpenADR
9:00 am - 5:00 pm | Tuesday, October 6, 2015
A 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.
The OpenADR 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?
This 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. The Workshop provides an overview of the standard itself including the core functions; a review of key deployment scenarios and types of DR programs; an overview of certified products, implementation resources and demonstration of an OpenADR cloud-based reference implementation.
