RE: [energyinterop] RE: Initial Port of OpenADR to EnergyInterop

["Dinges, Sharon" <sdinges@trane.com>]

Toby,

 

I believe this is a fair assessment.  The interactions between the EMS and the external ESI are more appropriately communicated using XML and web services. 

 

Then, at the EMS level, the systems would communicate using BACnet, LonWorks, OPC, HAN, DALI, etc.

 

Regards,

Sharon

In terms of the smart grid diagrams,  outside communications should be with Energy Services Interface (ESI), which is something different than the Energy Management System (EMS). Makers of BACnet, LON, HAN, DALI, et al will each figure out what the middle layer is.  Oft times, the enterprise will be in between the ESI and any EMS. It certainly will be in any industrial environment…

 

BACNET, LON and friends are out of scope…

Enclosed is a pass on the document that Toby sent out.  I mostly tried to answer some of his questions and added some comments of my own. 

 

Here are some general comments:

 

It looked like there is some material missing at the end. 

 

Clearly there needs to be some verbiage added concerning security requirements. 

 

There needs to be some meat added for the interaction and data models.  Perhaps adding in some of the diagrams from the spec will fulfill this requirement.

 

We need to give some thought to what we are going to do with the various interfaces, i.e. BACnet versus REST versus SOAP, etc.
