Demand response systems effectively manage EV charging during peak periods. The article explains the significance of automated demand response (ADR) and the global standards set by OpenADR. It also highlights the benefits of smart charging, time-of-use pricing, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, and incentives that promote sustainable EV charging practices. Furthermore, the integration of OpenADR with Distributed Energy Resource Management Systems (DERMS) is emphasized as a means to optimize the use of distributed energy resources.
