Hi Rish,



This is precisely what we are not saying: “super computer may
solve all our computing problems”. 



What we are saying is that almost any small footprint
hardware/firmware solution can address OpenADR specs including WS Calendar.



With kind regards,

Michel,


I agree that RTP would simplify many problems that are barrier to DR
participation. However, implementation of systems and other related actions
(e.g., programming costs) for this requires understanding buildings,
strategies, and the systems that exist currently (with or without retrofits)
and those that may come in future. It also requires customer adoption and
migration, which takes time. We can say a super computer may solve all our
computing problems, however, the key question here is -- can everyone afford it
and if they can, what would it cost to operate and maintain it?


Thank you,

-Rish

Hi Rish,
No, you are not missing something. What I was trying to say was:
If simplicity is the result of all the research in DR, then - in all
likelihood - those results would be a little antithetical to RTP simply
because RTP is anything but simple (with multiple actors and 10s of
intertwined use cases).
With kind regards,
