Energy Usage Feedback
One of the other priorities under the smart grid is feedback to the premises EMS on actual energy use.
The actual efforts to solve this problem seem, to date, to be inward focused, i.e., how can we collect this info and send it back through our substations to our CRMs. Personally, I think that something that looks like an oBIX watchpoint, or an oBIX Trend Report internal to the building makes a lot more sense.
But if it must go back to the utility CRM, should Energy Interoperation include an interaction to delver it back to the building? What if it is not available for delivery until the next day? (The UCAIug calls this “near real time”)
