OpenADR API

The OpenADR Alliance was created to standardize, automate, and simplify Demand Response (DR) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) to enable utilities and aggregators to cost-effectively manage growing energy demand & decentralized energy production, and customers to control their energy future. OpenADR standardizes the message format used for Auto-DR and DER management so that dynamic price and reliability signals can be exchanged in a uniform format among utilities, Independent Service Operators (ISOs), and energy management and control systems. The OpenADR API should be used to repeatable feed dynamic price data to devices in a common format.

OpenADR offers the following parameters, which will be available in multiple releases

Parameter	Release Date
