OpenADR Communication Control

Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) protocol is an application layer communication standard for demand response (DR) (OpenADR Alliance in OpenADR 2.0 Profile Specifications B, 2015 1, Ninagawa and Yamada in Demand Response Communication with OpenADR Standard, Morikita Publishing, Co., 2020 2). As introduced in the previous chapter, the IEEJ standard for the power supply–demand adjustment service uses DR as power consumption control (The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan in Energy Service by Building Air-conditioners, Technical Report of IEEJ, JEC-TR-59004:2019, 2019 3). This is because the OpenADR protocol is a de facto standard for DR.
