CAISO Telemetry Solution Over Broadband Field Study

PG&E’s CAISO Telemetry Solution Over Broadband is a 2017 DR Emerging Technologies (DRET) project to study the potential for Home Area Network (HAN) technologies to meet the CAISO telemetry requirements in residential aggregation. This report is meant to inform key stakeholders, including the CAISO and Demand Response Providers (DRPs), with specific focus on Proxy Demand Resources (PDR).  A strong conclusion from this study is that the current CAISO direct telemetry requirements for PDRs are prohibitive for mass market implementation.  

An initial scoping study, which informed this field study, was completed in 2017:  https://www.etcc-ca.com/reports/assessment-technologies-available-meet-caiso-telemetry-requirements-pdr
