OpenADR is a national standard communication protocol of demand response service. OpenADR uses XML message, called a payload, to support logical transaction of demand response service. For this purpose, OpenADR defines a XML element as transaction identifier which is called requestID. Unfortunately, OpenADR 2.0b profile specification describes some information about requestID but, it is not enough for understanding properly. Ambiguous definition of payload transaction makes vulnerabilities of implementing VEN & VTN and confuses mapping OpenADR 2.0b protocol into other smart grid protocols. Therefore, this paper redefines payload transaction to solve an ambiguous information of OpenADR 2.0b profile specification, proposes a model of analyzing payload transaction, and shows how to detect a payload transaction vulnerability in real-world.

For efficient energy usage, the concept of demand response has been emerged and thereby Open Automated D emand Response(OpenADR) protocol is developed as a standard protocol to provide automated demand response. There have been emerging trends on the demand response services using the Internet of Things(IoT) for smart h ome energy management. In this smart home energy IoT environment, a lightweight protocol is needed rather tha n the existing HTTP/ XML based OpenADR protocol for demand response services since many small devices wi ll be interconnected. In this paper, we propose a lightweight OpenADR protocol based on CoAP protocol for pro viding demand response service in Smart Energy IoT environment, implement the proposed CoAP-based protocol, and analyzed the performance compared to existing HTTP/ XML-based OpenADR 2.0b protocol.

The 'NIST Framework and Road Map for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards' proposes an architecture framework to secure the direction of development and standard interoperability of smart grid and provides a list of identified standard, standard cyber security strategies, and certification framework. In particular, SEP 2.0 and OpenADR 2.0 are the examples. SEP 2.0 and OpenADR 2.0 can functionally link HEMS and Smart Grid, but interoperability standards between the two protocols are not planned in above document. The OpenADR Alliance also announced that work is underway to define mapping tables for interoperability between OpenADR 2.0 and SEP 2.0, but no information is yet available. Therefore, In this paper, in developing energy efficiency improvement HEMS, we propose a mapping model that supports syntactic and semantic founded interoperability between SEP 2.0 and OpenADR 2.0b for ICT grid convergence based on the standard specification document of each protocol and confirmed through an example of the semantic mapping function based on the demand response service scenario.

A virtual power plant is a kind of software power plant that enables participation in power operation by integrally managing individual distributed resources. This paper proposes a common information communication architecture based on the TASE.2 standard and the OpenADR2.0 standard to operate a virtual power plant as a single power system. ESS is designed TASE.2 SBO devices that related objects are mapped to OpenADR2.0 services and composed as a single sequence type. Through simulation verification, it conforms data exchange and operation based on both standards.

This paper presents a load management method based on OpenADR of smart grid. Previous demand side algorithm is restricted on reducing peak power. But, in this paper we suggest a method of performing the energy-saving control according to the power price utilizing building automatic control system installed on the customer side in the case of hourly differential pricing signal is transmitted to the open automated demand response system. And, we showed the integrated demand management software for 3 buildings.

Technology to optimize and utilize the use and supply of the electric power between consumer and supplier has been on the rise among the smart grid power market network in electric power demand management based on the Internet. Open Automated Demand Response system protocol, which can deliver Demand Response needed in electric power demand management to electricity supplier, system supplier and even the user is openADR 2.0b. This paper used the most credible, cosmopolitanly proliferated EPRI open source and analysed the variety of security vulnerability that developed VEN and VTN system may have. Using the simulator for attacking openADR protocol, the VEN/VTN system that has been implemented as EPRI open source was conducted to attack in a variety of ways. As a result of the analysis, we were able to get the results that the VEN/VTN system has security vulnerabilities to the parameter tampering attacks and service flow falsification attack. In conclusion, if you want to implement the openADR2.0b protocol system in the open or two-way communication environment smart grid network, considering a variety of security vulnerability should be sure to seek security technology and services.

본고에서는 Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 네트워크 기반의 자동 수요반응 기술에 대해 소개한다. 수요반응은 피크 수요 기간 동안 전력의 안정화에 큰 기여를 할 수 있으며, 수요반응의 범위와 효과가 증가함에 따라 일반 수용가의 참여가 매우 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 하지만, 다양한 지역에 위치한 수용가를 대상으로 수요반응 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 유틸리티 또는 수요관리사업자와 고객 간의 수요반응 신호 교환과 정보 공유를 위한 통합 네트워크 구축이 필수적으로 필요하다. 또한, 이기종 시스템 간 상호운용성 보장을 위한 공통의 통신 제어 기술이 요구된다. 본고에서는 AMI 네트워크를 기반으로 IEC/PAS 규격인 Open Automated Demand Response version 2.0 (OpenADR2.0) 기술을 채택하여 수용가를 대상으로 한 자동화된 수요반응 서비스를 실현하고자 한다. AMI 디바이스를 수요반응 자원으로 활용하기 위하여 기존의 기능은 유지한 채로 OpenADR2.0 프로토콜을 탑재하여 수요반응 기능이 추가된 디바이스들을 개발하였으며, 프로토콜 적합성 테스트와 필드 테스트를 통하여 자동화된 수요 반응 서비스 및 부하 감축을 검증하였다. 개발 소프트웨어는 OpenADR Alliance로부터 국제공인인증을 획득함으로써 수요 반응 시스템의 레퍼런스 통신 기술로 적용이 가능하다.

In order to take advantage of the building as an energy demand resources, it requires automated systems that can respond to the demand response event. Load aggregator has been started business in Korea, research and development of building energy management and demand response systems that can support them has been active recently. However, the ratio of introducing automated real-time demand response systems is insufficient and the cost is also high. In this research, we developed a building energy management system and OpenADR protocol to participate in a demand response and then evaluated them in real building. OpenADR is a standard protocol for automated system through the event and reporting between load aggregator and demand-side. In addition, we also developed a web-based building control system to embrace different control systems and to reduce the peak load during demand response event. We verified that the result systems are working in a building and the reduced load is measured to confirm the demand response.

This study analyzes the performance of power-line communications for sending open automated demand response (OpenADR) signals. In particular, we study main channel disturbances that can affect end-to-end communications and which have not been previously studied in detail. Our analysis takes into account physical phenomena, such as background and impulsive noise sources, channel attenuation, and multipath effects, and considers the physical, network, and applications layers of the communications structure. The performance of the physical layer is the basis for computing the packet error rate. In analyzing application performance, we focus specifically on the latency in several communication environments. If a channel is impaired only by background noise, latencies are less than 40 seconds. With the addition of impulsive noise in the channel, this value increases as long as 68 seconds. Using these figures, we find that power-line technology is more suitable for "slow" demand programs, such as day-ahead or day-of curtailments, rather than ancillary services markets, which require near-real-time communication.

With the shift of the energy paradigm from supply side management to demand side management, demand resource management and demand response plays an important role in the energy industry. As a consequency, a lot of researches have been done to provide a suitable demand response system. However, most of the demand response systems are based on the propriety products that cannot be modified. In this paper, we are proposing an automated demand response system using an EnerNOC provided open source code. We implemented the demand response server (VTN) and demand response client (VEN), and validated the OpenADR2.0 compliances using the open source code. We also used an Arduino microcontoller to demonstrate the communication schemes to control various devices.
