| OASIS | OASIS EI (link: https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=energyinterop):
The Energy Interoperation TC works to define interaction between Smart Grids and their end nodes, including Smart Buildings, Enterprises, Industry, Homes, and Vehicles. The TC develops data and communication models that enable the interoperable and standard exchange of signals for dynamic pricing, reliability, and emergencies. The TC’s agenda also extends to the communication of market participation data (such as bids), load predictability, and generation information. The Energy Interoperation Standard (http://docs.oasis-open.org/energyinterop/ei/v1.0/energyinterop-v1.0.html) serves as a basis for the OpenADR 2.0 specification
