OpenADR

OpenADR is an open standard for automated demand-response signalling between energy providers, aggregators and flexible energy resources. It carries events, prices and related information used to change electricity consumption or generation in response to grid or market conditions. EV charging can participate in OpenADR programmes directly or through an energy-management gateway. The OpenADR Alliance publishes programme models that include residential EV charging, public charging and distributed-energy-resource demand response. OpenADR and OCPP address different interfaces. OpenADR carries demand-response information; OCPP manages charging stations and can apply charging limits or schedules in response.
