Subject: RE: [energyinterop] Registration and Party IDs
“what are the consequences of that if a customer is considered a single DR Resource by the Utility?” The customer is a billing and contractual entity. Example: ChainStore with 500 stores. 400 Stores have ESI’s installed. 300 of those are customers of MyUtility Those 300 ESI’s register and get 300 PartyIDs 250 of those enter into event-based programs / enroll as VENs. The 300 PartyIDs are rolled up into the same Utility Bill and sent to the same customer / billing address Those 300 IDs are likely in different towns with different congestion / equipment failure / shortage scenarios, meaning they are unlikely to represent a single DR resource. We *could* use the words differently, but we are slowly crawling toward a normative definition for each of these words as used in EnergyInterop Phil and I were just talking and he pointed out that for home users, the power is turned on only if a MeterId is associated with a PremisesID is associated with a CustomerID that is willing to pay. A Meter may be swapped out; if so the meter ID travels with the meter, and a new meterID is then associated with the Premise/Customer combination. A Customer can move to the other side of town and keep the same CustomerID, which is then associated with a new PremiseID and MeterID. A single premise may have multiple meters. If we extend this, then a VEN represents a MeterID / PremiseID combination (if operating at that level). A Customer may own / reside in multiple Premises. All DR Resources are local, meaning tied to that Premise / Meter (or sets of meters) Corollary: All PartyIDs are tied to Premise/Meters Exchange of Customer IDs is merely a convenience to the VTN during Enrollment tc "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster, and if you stare long into an abyss, the abyss also stares into you." - Fredrich Nietzche
