OpenADR® provides a framework for the interoperable and standardised communication of demand management signals. It defines the messages, data models, and communication protocols to facilitate the automatic response to electricity grid needs. The OpenADR® Alliance, a nonprofit consortium of stakeholders, oversees the development, adoption, and compliance of the OpenADR® standard to ensure its effectiveness and broad acceptance in the market.
OpenADR® products must be certified to guarantee interoperability by completing a testing process against conformance rules in the OpenADR® standard. Testing is carried out worldwide by approved test houses. Cortexo’s OpenADR® products completed testing at a certified test house in the USA in early 2024.
