Details
How it works
The OpenADR interface can be linked to the utility program dispatch centers for the project site. The program response is configured in the interface configuration tool and stored in the device firmware. When a DR event is received, the interface sends a contact closure signal to an Avi-on SIM, which triggers the configured load reduction across the Avi-on network. The DR response is configured for each project during setup. A typical configuration lowers the high-end trim of all sensors to 40%, while areas that are off when the signal is received remain off. The trim level is adjustable, and specific areas can be excluded from the DR response. Multi-level DR (for example, moderate and extreme events) is also supported using additional SIMs, with the appropriate logic programmed on the OpenADR interface. All configuration and management can be done remotely. The unit can be plugged into the Ethernet port of the Avi-on LTE bridge for a fully wireless DR solution that requires no local network connection (ongoing cellular use requires a small annual connection subscription).

Hardware
Requirements
A single Avi-on OpenADR interface kit per building (AVI-KIT-OPEN-ADR / AVI-ASSY-OPEN-ADR). One Avi-on Sensor Input Module (AVI-SIM-12-24VDC-EA) and USB Relay per load reduction strategy. Additional relays and SIMs can be purchased from Avi-on if more complex strategies are desired. The OpenADR Certificate to connect to live utility programs is NOT included (approximately $90 plus installation). The certificate can be purchased either from Avi-on or directly from OpenADR.
