OpenADR Taskforce

OpenADR and NIST Smart Grid Roadmap Conceptual Model

OpenADR History Research begun at LBNL Demand Response Research Center (DRRC) into automated DR 2003 – 2006 Numerous pilots and field trials Present – Commercialization and use of OpenADR in PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E DR programs to automate DR programs with primarily Commercial and Industrial customers. Number of DR programs utilizing OpenADR continues to expand. Q1/2007 – Standardization effort for OpenADR begins at DRRC with Industry Consortium drafting specification Q1/2009 – First official draft of OpenADR specification is published by California Energy Commission. Work is donated to UCAIug and OASIS 2009 – OpenADR taskforce formed within UCAIug 2009 – Energy Interoperation Technical Committee formed within OASIS 2009 – NIST develops SmartGrid Roadmap in which OpenADR is identified as one of the original 16 low hanging fruit. Q3/2009 – NIST forms Priority Action Plan (PAP) 09 for standardizing DR signals. OpenADR taskforce works closely with NAESB to develop requirements for PAP 09

Specification History and Proposed Plan

UCAIug OpenADR Taskforce Goals OpenADR focuses on DR from an application point of view and specifically on the interactions between the Utility and Facility whereas other groups within UCAIug are more focused on platforms or systems that may support DR applications within their specific domains Work closely with horizontal OpenSG groups. Some overlap with OpenHAN (facility side) and AMI Ent (Utility head end side). Develop requirements and harmonize with CIM efforts Will work with existing standards such as 61850, CIM, and Multispeak which may have DR components Will work with emerging standards organizations such as OASIS, Zigbee/Homeplug (SEP), and NAESB

Status and Next Steps Task Force completed SRS and SD on OpenADR TF focus – PEV – Fast DR – DER – Security
