Open Automated Demand Response Communication Standards (OpenADR or Open Auto-DR)
Meetings & Activities
Public Review Draft: May 2008
This document is a draft of the Open Automated Demand Response Communication Standards. The research that led to this standard was funded by the California Energy Commission's (CEC) Public Interest Energy Research Program (PIER). The work has been carried out by the Demand Response Research Center (DRRC) which is managed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The initial goal of the research was to explore the feasibility of developing a low cost communications infrastructure to improve the reliability, repeatability, robustness, and cost-effectiveness of demand response (DR) in commercial buildings. One key research question was: Could today's technology be used to automate the response of commercial buildings to standardized electricity price signals? Over six years of research, development, and demonstration have led to this standard. The standard outlines communications standards using Web Services to send DR signals to end-use customer systems.
This technology has been in use for several years and the purpose of this formal standard is to reduce cost, promote interoperability among DR technologies, and allow wide spread price or emergency response in commercial and industrial facilities.
The OpenADR draft document and the appendices are available in Microsoft Word (DOC) and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). Those who wish to comment on this draft can either:
