Using Market Context in Open ADR
Market contexts are used to express market information that rarely changes. Typically the Utility will name Events to correspond to Incentive Programs thereby creating a pre-define a class of Events so the VEN can differentiate.
This information is parsed in the Event payload by the end node and compared the Market Contexts defined in the dras_client.ini file. If the VEN defines specific Market Contexts other Events will not be accepted or executed by the VEN with respect to a Market Context.
See “How do I change Market Context in a GRIDlink?”
Modify the the Market Context in the GRIDlink dras_client.ini file.
For the VENs that will participate only in the first Event:
market_context1=morningDR
For the VENs that will participate only in the second Event:
market_context1=eveningDR
For the VENs that will participate in both Events:
market_context1=morningDR
market_context1=eveningDR
For the VENs that will participate all Events regardless of Market Context
market_context1=
If either Market Context is blank the GRIDlink will participate in all Events.
