RE: [emix] Not To Exceed
Toby, But this largely a self regulating promise. If the cell phone companies were doing this - if you stay inside the plan - you are home free - but otherwise they surcharge you for overages at 10x the plan rate! I'm not sure I want to perpetuate that ugly model and world. It's OK if its purely for predicting future load patterns. I much prefer the reverse plan - which is you get credit back for using less!

Verification is the problem because DR are is a promise to reduce load by a certain amount from an uncertain beginning end point to an unknown end point. What about an agreement that “I will use no more than xxx” as a DR offering. It becomes entirely results oriented (good for a service). It would be more valuable if it warranted “no spikes” rather than merely total use for a [15 minute] period. It certainly would be callable. Do we adopt this? If so, does it look like [emix – this is for max use] Or does it look like [Eitc: I will commit not to exceed [emix] ] In other words, is max an EITC or EMIX thing… tc "Energy and persistence conquer all things." -- Benjamin Franklin Toby Considine TC9, Inc OASIS Technical Advisory Board TC Chair: oBIX & WS-Calendar TC Editor: EMIX, EnergyInterop Email: Phone: (919)619-2104 http://www.tcnine.com/ blog: www.NewDaedalus.com
