Why OpenADR

The Demand Flexibility Communication Protocols project will have a significant future impact on how we operate future grids and support customer engagement in demand flexibility. To explore why OpenADR has been selected as the communication protocol to be used in the trial, the Design Team hosted a webinar.

Topics

  • What are we seeking to achieve in New Zealand?
  • Future Network Operations, and the evolution of possible future models.
  • What model we are exploring for The Project.
  • A comparison between OpenADR vs IEEE2030.5 and why OpenADR has been selected for trial.
