David…
For the wider crowd here, could give a brief overview of CAM.
Thanks

Subject: RE: [smartgrid-discuss] Draft charter for proposed OASIS Energy
Interoperation Technical Committee
On the draft - looks good.
On the OpenADR schemas - there's a whole raft of issues,
inconsistencies and design gaps that I've uncovered after running them through
CAM and building dictionary of their content model.
Definately shows that we need the "OASIS touch" to
ensure simple, optimized, consistent and clean schemas - so that interoperable
and lightweight messaging is provided.
I'm just in the middle of a new release for CAM - plus I have work
I owe on the OASIS EML TC - so will be next week before I have a chance to
write up my findings and submit to OpenADR - but these would all be aspects I'd
see we would want to correct if taking on the task here in OASIS of having
public standard.

Bill,
Thanks for posting this draft; I will read through it to see if I can find the
answers to my questions and concerns and/or throw in suggestions for things I
think need addressing.
But, since I've had these questions and issues for a while I'll take a couple
minutes to throw them out to the group as well:
1.) I am working on bidirectional power management for the grid and this seems
to be something that gets very little mention in this standards work.
Specifically, I am interested in vehicle-to-grid connection that allows for
distributed energy storage solutions. The use of grig-connected vehicles
and other distributed storage mechanisms to allow grid support, spinning
reserve, peak shaving, power quality support, etc. represents a major
opportunity for smart-grid operation, but it also seems to be low priority or
"someday, maybe" in terms of standards.
2.) The mass of different standards and organizations related to energy
control, demand response, home area networks, etc. is dizzying and hard to
handle for a new vendor eying the development of actual hardware. I
understand that the likelihood that any one standard can satisfy the many
different requirements of different players, but it is extremely confusing to
come to this field and find so many different organizations proclaiming
themselves as the "standard". So, I have a concern/question re:
whether we should put a lot of effort into this work or just go work to make
sure that one of the many other standards starts to gain momentum or expands
enough to include issues that drive us to want to have another new one.
As I said, I am interested in reading through this and seeing if I can
contribute anything useful, and hopefully all will become clear.
Thanks and regards,
-Glenn Skutt

Please find attached the draft charter for the proposed OASIS
Energy Interoperation Technical Committee. I've attached a PDF, OpenDocument,
and Word versions, all with line numbers for ease of discussion and review.
We invite you to comment on this list and to determine your interest in joining
this work - please contact me directly if you would like to be listed as a
supporter.
This proposal is being posted to smartgrid-discuss for (guess what!) discussion
and review. The intent of the drafting group is to revise this draft after a
comment period, and then submit the revised charter to the OASIS' Technical
Committee process,.
The core work of the TC is defining XML and Web services interactions for
so-called Automated Demand Response, growing out of work at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory Demand Response Research Center led by Mary Ann
Piette, who is the convener of the proposed TC. This specific proposal comes
from the context of many discussions in and related to the OpenADR Technical
Advisory Group, GridWise Architecture Council, Grid-Interop, the NIST Smart
Grid project, GridEcon (a conference in March on the economics of the Smart
Grid - http://www.gridecon.com/
) and many other places.
The LBNL OpenADR body of work is being extended through two
organizations/entities being created: this proposed OASIS Technical Committee
and a proposed UCAIug OpenADR Task Force. In this innovative collaboration, the
UCAIug, whose members are largely utilities and their suppliers, we will focus
requirements, goals, data models and comments through UCAIug, involving their
membership.
If you're not familiar with OASIS Technical Committee Charters, the statement
of purpose is section (1)(b), the scope is section (1)(c), and identification
of similar or applicable work is section (2)(a).
As usual as charters evolve, the list of supporters is empty in this public
discussion draft, and the list of deliverables and timeline is not included --
the next version will have those sections completed. Again, if you would like
to join this work as a supporter and member of the technical committee, let us
know.
Collaboration with other groups of stakeholders is actively being sought;
please contact me for how to get involved. Other stakeholders include energy
market makers, Independent System Operators (such as those in California,
Texas, New England, the Midwest, etc), and policy and regulatory groups. For
more details, see the draft charter -- and step forward so we can make this
interoperation effort both broad and effective.
Thanks!
