4.2.1 PURPOSE
This test is intended to validate that the client sets appropriate values for DERCapability.
4.2.2 TEST PROCEDURE
The steps SHALL be performed as described in Table 44. The test results SHALL be compared against the Expected Result column in Table 44.
Table 44 – Test steps for Communications Client – Demand Response Configuration
Step No. | Manual or utility server step | Expected comms client result |
1 | The client completes the discovery process as detailed in test 3.2.1, including receiving the DERCapability and DERSettings resource links from the utility server. | Client posts a DERCapability payload to the utility server on connection. The payload includes a modesSupported value with bit 7 (opModFixedW) asserted, and a type value with the appropriate bit asserted as per the controlled device type – • Hot water system – bit 3 • Pool pump controller – bit 4 • Air conditioner – bit 7 • Electric vehicle charger – bit 17 |
4.2.3 CRITERIA
If during testing the client experiences one of the following events these are considered non- conformances with this requirement:
a) Bit 7 of modesSupported is not asserted.
b) The type field bits asserted do not match the type of device under control.
