Interoperability Context-Setting Framework

摘要: As the deployment of automation technology advances, it touches upon many areas our corporate and personal lives. A trend is emerging where systems are growing to extent that integration taking place with other provide even greater capabilities more efficiently effectively. GridWise™ provides a vision for this type as applies electric system. Imagine time in not too distant future when homeowners can offer management their electricity demand participate efficient environmentally friendly operation power grid. They will do using acts on behalf response information from components This recognize preferences parameters such comfort price energy form responses optimize local need signal satisfies higher-level For example, consider particularly hot day air stagnation an area significant dependence wind generation. To manage forecasted peak demand, bulk system operator issues critical warning. Their alert service providers who distribute electricitymore » wholesale consumers. In response, use inform consumers impending increases electricity. passed at premises, which homeowner’s behalf, adjust usage onsite equipment (which might include generation sources fuel cell). The objective honor agreement provider reduce bill while keeping occupants comfortable possible. actions moving thermostat heating, ventilation, air-conditioning (HVAC) unit up several degrees. resulting load reduction becomes part aggregated now better position total available Looking across system, generating plants, transmission substations, distribution factories, office parks, buildings, growing, opportunities unleashing new value propositions exciting. How we facilitate change so way ensures reliability resources wellbeing economy security? GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) mission enable interoperability among entities interact good definition is, “The capability two or networks, systems, devices, applications, exchange between them exchanged.” step direction enabling interoperability, GWAC proposes context-setting framework organize concepts terminology be identified debated, improvements address articulated, prioritized coordinated community.« less
