1 Scope
The OpenADR 2.0 profile specification is a flexible data model to facilitate common
information exchange between electricity service providers, aggregators, and end users.
The concept of an open specification is intended to allow anyone to implement the
two-way signaling systems, providing the servers, which publish information (Virtual
Top Nodes or VTNs) to the automated clients, which subscribe the information (Virtual
End Nodes, or VENs).
This OpenADR 2.0 profile specification covers the signaling data models between VTN
and VEN (or VTN/VEN pairs) and does include information related to specific DR electric
reduction or shifting strategies, which are taken at the facility. In particular,
OpenADR 2.0 supports the following services from OASIS EI Version 1.0 standard or
subset thereof. Extensions to these services are included to meet the DR stakeholder
and market requirements:
Registration (EiRegisterParty) : Register is used to identify entities such as VEN’s and parties. This is necessary
in advance of an actor interacting with other parties in various roles such as VEN,
VTN, tenderer, and so forth.
Enrollment (EiEnroll) : Used to enroll a Resource for participation in DR programs. This establishes a relationship
between two actors as a basis for further interactions. (Planned for future releases)
