(PR) 15-day Public Review for Energy Interoperation v1.0

The OASIS Energy Interoperation TC [1] members have produced an updated  
Committee Specification Draft (CSD) and submitted this specification for  
15-day public review:

Energy Interoperation Version 1.0

Committee Specification Draft 03 / Public Review Draft 03

09 November 2011 

Specification Overview:

OASIS Energy interoperation describes an information model and a  
communication model to enable collaborative and transactive use of energy,  
service definitions consistent with the OASIS SOA Reference Model [SOA-RM],  
and XML vocabularies for the interoperable and standard exchange of:

* Dynamic price signals

* Reliability signals

* Emergency signals

* Communication of market participation information such as bids

* Load predictability and generation information 

This work facilitates enterprise interaction with energy markets,  
which:

* Allows effective response to emergency and reliability events

* Allows taking advantage of lower energy costs by deferring or accelerating  
usage,

* Enables trading of curtailment and generation,

* Supports symmetry of interaction between providers and consumers of  
energy,

* Provides for aggregation of provision, curtailment, and use 

The definition of a price and of reliability information depends on the  
market context in which it exists. It is not in scope for this TC to define  
specifications for markets or for pricing models, but the TC has coordinated  
with others to ensure that commonly used market and pricing models are  
supported. 

While this specification uses Web Services to describe the services, no  
requirement or expectation of specific messaging implementation is assumed.  

TC Description:

All work of the OASIS Energy Interoperation Technical Committee (TC) is  
publicly visible through the TCs home page at  
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/energyinterop, including all  
correspondence and prior drafts. 

The committee includes members representing Independent System Operators  
and Regional Transmission Operators as well as the ISO/RTO Council,  
Utilities, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, building automation standards,  
market communication, schedule communication, electronic commerce (B2B) and  
software architecture experts and more. 

The work of this committee is built in part on contributions of  
Requirements for Demand Response PAP09 (NAESB), OpenADR 1.0 (LBL), and  
business information requirements (IRC) as well as substantial contributions  
from members of the OpenADR Alliance. 

The specification names three profiles, OpenADR 2.0, Price Distribution,  
and Transactive Energy, which call out subsets of the specification for  
particular purposes. 

The committee maintains a list of work items at  
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/ENERGYINTEROP.

Public Review Period:

The public review starts 17 November 2011 and ends 02 December 2011. The  
specification was previously submitted for a 15-day public review on 10  
August 2011 [2]. This 15-day review is limited in scope to changes made from  
the previous review. Changes are highlighted in the diff-marked PDF file  
including in the specification ZIP file.

This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from  
potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the  
sake of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.  

When providing comments, please refer to the line numbers in the PDF  
edition of the specification.

All comments submitted to OASIS are subject to the OASIS Feedback License,  
which ensures that the feedback you provide carries the same obligations at  
least as the obligations of the TC members. In connection with this public  
review of Energy Interoperation Version 1.0, we call your attention to the  
OASIS IPR Policy [3] applicable especially [4] to the work of this technical  
committee. All members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which  
may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a  
member's patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an  
approved OASIS specification. OASIS invites any persons who know of any such  
claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of  
the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice  
page for this TC's work.
