Seminar 66 -- How Smart Buildings Can Communicate with and Automatically Respond to Smart Grid? Introduction to OpenADR, BACnet, and VOLTTRON PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

A key characteristic of smart grid is two-way communication between the utility and its customers. In the new Smart Grid Application Guide, OpenADR, BACnet and VOLTTRON are introduced as key parts of this two-way communication. OpenADR is an open, secure and two-way information exchange model and global Smart Grid standard. BACnet has objects and services that enable building load management and control. VOLTTRON is an open-source and secure execution and communications platform that  an be used for buildings-to-grid applications. The two-way communication
architecture and basic concepts of OpenADR, BACnet and VOLTTRON will be presented in this session.
