OpenADR is an ope n\, highly secure\, and two-way information exchange model and Smart Grid standard. This presentation will provide the audience with an introduction to the OpenADR standard and how it enables secure communications between control systems and the energy service providers.\n\nWe will walk through the history and basic functionality of the protocol and then proceed to re view different control strategies.
