OpenADR Alliance Webinar on OPEn
Join me for the upcoming OpenADR Alliance Webinar where I’ll be presenting OPEn and how AI and OpenADR 3.0 eliminate the need for yet another new standard for demand flexibility.
IEEE PES Grid Edge Technologies
Attention IEEE PES Grid Edge Enthusiasts and Other Human Entities!
You’re cordially invited to attend my OPEn presentation on Monday, January 20, 2025, at 1 PM PST at IEEE PES Grid Edge Technologies in San Diego, where your presence will play a crucial role in elevating my already off-the-charts anxiety levels!
If I survive the experience, you just might learn something about OPEn!
OPEn Part I
A couple of weeks ago, I teased you with my idea of OPEn (Open Platform for Energy). Now, it’s time to rock a few boats, and bring some pies down from the sky. In Section 2, I share a real-life example of how we can achieve demand flexibility without introducing new standards—leveraging OPEn alongside a simple interaction with AI (ChatGPT, in this case).
OpenADR 3.0 in Action!
As one of the contributors to OpenADR 2.0, it only made sense for me to dive into OpenADR 3.0. After all, why stop at being the best when you can aim to be the besterest? Yeah, I know… English isn’t my first language, but innovation speaks for itself!
Been There, Done That …
It was heaven! Or so I thought… until it turned into Groundhog Day, repeating endlessly as my team and I found ourselves constantly developing, integrating, and dabbling in countless versions of smart grid and gadget communication protocols and standards.
