Demand response

Also called: DSR, demand-side response Demand response changes electricity consumption in response to grid, market or price signals. EV charging is well suited to demand response because charging power and timing can often move without preventing the vehicle from being ready when it is needed. A demand-response event might reduce charging power during a constrained period, shift charging to another time or respond to a variable tariff. The control can be applied through an aggregator, energy-management system or charging platform. OpenADR is one open standard used for demand-response signalling. OCPP can then be used within the charging network to apply the required charger limits or schedules.
