Subject: Two Paths to DR
|
So how much of the two paths are we responsible for in EITC? The two paths, of course, are managed and collaborative
energy. If we chain them too closely together, we remove all benefits from
having two paths. If they diverge too much, then we may appear incoherent. Here
are my thoughts, broken into items each of which may be an area for a consensus
decision. 1)
We cannot be responsible for the ZigBee/SEP process, an
occult effort occurring within a trade association and encumbered by IP. 2)
I do not even see a path clear to receiving/accepting a
donation of the ZigBee/SEP material, although I may be surprised. 3)
It is unclear to me how we would define an ESI
interface to the outside of a direct control process if it had to exist inside
the existing substation infrastructure. Perhaps that is my ignorance of how
powerful that infrastructure is. 4)
There is a fundamental disconnect between process
integration (do something when we say so) and a serviced integration (achieve
results when we say so). Can we actually achieve both in one standard? 5)
Is there any way to effectively talk to the outside of
an ESI as if it were SEP/Direct control system within a direct control model and
get autonomous response within. Is that within scope even if the direct control
is not? What would that mean? 6)
Does this mean that our model is essentially that of “With
or without a separate internet connection”? Is this a bug (social equity)
or a feature (dumber AMI has a smaller attack surface)? 7)
Have we sufficiently met commitments if we define DLC,
and say we are not doing it? I am afraid that until we agree on these issues, the work
will be neither fish, nor flesh, nor good red herring… Or, more strongly, that the long term reaction to a standard
not clear in these matters is “But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not
hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth.” tc "Energy
and persistence conquer all things." -- Benjamin Franklin
