This week is particularly exciting one for us at the OpenADR Alliance. As we gather at Enlit Europe (November 28-30th) with industry leaders and several of our members, all part of the growing community of companies looking to solve the most important energy transition issues, we are delighted to announce the new version of the OpenADR communications standard.

OpenADR 3.0 is an important milestone for us as the industry body responsible for driving the development, adoption, and compliance of OpenADR. It’s also a significant step in the development of communications standard for utilities, operators, and aggregators, as they look to manage the growing range of distributed energy resources.

Much of the talk at ENLIT this year will be about renewables in every form, together with energy and battery storage, and of course, the momentum around electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. OpenADR sits at the heart of all of these discussions; critical in providing seamless communications between different devices and systems – and between utilities and customers. 

With technology becoming more and more complex, OpenADR 3.0 actually provides greater simplicity. It makes energy management easier and, perhaps most important in an industry that is in a state of transition right now, ensuring energy systems are future-proofed for many years to come. 

The good news is that OpenADR 3.0 is designed to complement older versions of the standard, which is already widely used. But it now simplifies messaging, including pricing, offering more dynamic pricing structures, as well as better enabling greenhouse gas signalling, grid code adjustments, and capacity management communication. There is no better place to launch this exciting new development for the standard and for the Alliance.

I am confident we will be having plenty of interesting discussions on our stand, no. 7.2.J55, with our partners, members and visitors from across Europe. We are expecting a busy week so if you are at the show this year, stop by and have a chat. The OpenADR Alliance is attending Enlit Europe 2023 (Nov 28-30) in Paris, France on stand no. 7.2.J55, together with several members: AMPECO, Driivz, Fuji Electric, Honeywell, Kaluza, Panasonic, Siemens, Trilliant and SmartEn.
