2. Scope
This model provides the basis for common information exchange between control systems and end use devices found in single - and multi-family homes, commercial and institutional buildings, and industrial facilities that is independent of the communication protocol in use. It provides a common basis for electrical energy consumers to describe, manage, and communicate about electrical energy consumption and forecasts.
The model defines a comprehensive set of data objects and actions that support a wide range of energy management applications and electrical service provider interactions including:
-
a) on-site generation,
-
b) demand response,
-
c) electrical storage,
-
d) peak demand management,
-
e) forward power usage estimation,
-
f) load shedding capability estimation,
-
g) end load monitoring (sub metering),
-
h) power quality of service monitoring,
-
i) utilization of historical energy consumption data, and
-
j) direct load control.
