David,
Excellent find. This appears to be compatible with the dynamic
price messaging I have proposed for emix and energy interop.

This came out of a SG Today article (3/11) on a microgrid in
the Netherlands now using power auction based on work coming out of ECN (Dutch
research center), see: http://www.ecn.nl/docs/library/report/2010/e10003.pdf.
Seems this is the kind of thing we want to see all over, and a good use case
for EMIX. Their main business case application now is to use their technology
to enable optimization of the home (at one level) and neighborhood (at next
level up) to act as a virtual power plant to bid power into the wholesale
market.
On the B2G call, Ram Sastry said that PNNL had based their
price responsive work on a common pre-cursor (some work out of HP). The article
in SG Today made the claim that the microgrid effort has as one goal to help
with standards, and I want to follow up with an ECN contact to try to
understand that better.
