I think this quote I extracted from one of Ed's comment in the chain
is, perhaps, foundational.
"Having a device communicate
its response back between the domains is of little value unless the trust in
the response is equivalent to that of a sub meter in that the response can be
used for billing." Ed Cazalet
If you look at the costs involved to having a device equal a revenue grade
AMI meter in reliability, security, and be abile to maintain the verification of
the response, will it have a valid cost/benefit for anything but very large
loads?
The other buring question is, can it be spoofed for financial
gain? The ATTACHED IMAGE IS A SPOOF sent to me from a friend. But it makes
an obvious point. The position is that a DR should be verifiable and
impact standard energy measurment and billing methods. Otherwise it’s
success and verification may always be in question.
Enjoy!
