OpenADR Alliance Membership in Action

 

Overwhelmingly, existing OpenADR Alliance membership and those interested in OpenADR crave to learn about pending, existing, and ongoing OpenADR projects throughout the globe. To best capture and study big data in automated demand response, we need your project details. Thank you to those who are sharing your data. We aim to populate the OpenADR project map steadily and interactively. Here is a document with empty fields waiting to be filled out and expanded by you. For any member related matters please connect with [email protected].

 

QualityLogic has come out with a new workshop to “help inform utility DR program managers, designers, and implementers about how to best use OpenADR-based systems for automating DR.”

 

A video to note: PG&E not only educates about demand response, but also paints a picture of life without demand response.

 

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

We are revamping the OpenADR website to focus on educating key audiences and propelling the OpenADR standard toward widespread adoption.  This revamp will even include a searchable certified products database. We would appreciate your ongoing feedback throughout this process. To be included, please email: [email protected]

Technical Update

Security certificates: Easier access to digital certificates for small scale trial and demo deployments

 

The OpenADR Alliance’ mission is to foster the adoption of OpenADR in the market. The Alliance spent significant time and effort creating the most secure and standards compliant approach to cyber security that is possible and reasonable. It is very well understood that vendors are facing a variety of challenges when bringing their OpenADR products to market. Therefore, as a service to OpenADR Alliance member companies, the Alliance has created a program to lower the entry barrier for small scale trial, demo, or short-term deployments using the OpenADR 2.0 technology.

 

Companies will be able to obtain blocks of 100 OpenADR Security Certificates (up to a total of 300 certificates) outside the standard tier pricing models.
