  2. What is Demand Response? • Devices Respond to the Grid • Direct relationship between demand, load on the grid, green house gases, and the likelihood of blackouts • Just like any other supply/demand scenarios, the higher the load, the higher the price • Consumers can use load and/or price information to not only curb demand but also save money and promote energy conservation • Signaling • Flex Alert (CA Only) – the most basic tool providing Active/Inactive states • OpenADR – a complete / standards based set of load, price, and energy consumption signals through the Internet • AMI – a complete / standards based set of load, price, and energy consumption signals through the Smart Meter (SEP)

  3. Control Methods • Load Control: Utility publishes time-of-use (TOU) rates. Control is exercised by consumer • Direct Control: Utility controls selected appliances remotely • Prices to Devices: Appliances intercept price signals and act as programmed • Distributed Load Control: A higher level controller that takes grid signals and makes appropriate decisions based on customer preferences and budget

  4. ESI : Energy Service Interface • Implements Distributed Load Control • Based on ISO/IEC 15067-3: Model of Demand Response Energy Management System (EMS) • Facilitates communications between AMI, the consumer, and end devices. customer preferences, budget through automation and learning • Analogous to routers but for energy-aware resources and AMI interactions

  5. ESI Characteristics • Inexpensive and commercially available • Off the shelf and support for off the shelf communicating protocols • Standards based and secure • ISO/IEC 15067-3, OpenADR, and SEP • Cyber-security tested and certified • Automation • Easily configurable user scenarios based on important events such as price, climate conditions, occupancy, time of day, etc. • May learn and suggest energy saving modes based on environmental and user taken actions • Autonomous • Losing connectivity should have very limited impact on the correct operations of the system • Developer Friendly
