What should be enrolled

I assume you are talking about enrollment of a Party in an Enabling Agreement (Market Context, Program, Tariff, Bilateral Trading Agreement)

In this case the Parties cannot be devices or resources.

For example a distributed energy resource is not a Party.    A distributed energy resource operator could be a Party to an Enabling Agreement.

Likewise  meterAuthority  is not likely to be a Party to an Enabling Agreement – it is an information provider just like the weather forecaster.


I think we should stay away from creating enumerated types but just set rules for the type of entity that can be enrolled as Party in an Enabling Agreement and give examples.

If a jurisdiction wants to standardize such names then they can do it, EI should not in my opinion.    For example, many of the enrollment type names may be very different in Europe or Asia.

Subject:  [energyinterop] What should be enrolled

I think the list of enrollment types (an enumerated type for EI) is similar to the following

designatedDispatchEntity (VTN)
distributedEnergyResource
loadServingEntity
meterAuthority
schedulingEntity
serviceProvider
transportServiceProvider
utilityDistributionOperator
marketParticipant


These second tier entities could be added to the list above, but I think they are redundant.

distributionProvider
hostBalancingAuthority
balancingAuthority
independentPowerProducer
interchangeAuthority
intermediateBalancingAuthority
purchasingSellingEntity
receivingBalancingAuthority
sendingBalancingAuthority
transmissionOperator
transmissionServiceProvider

Changes or suggestions to the list…
