This application was designed to support the role of a virtual end node (VEN) as defined in the OpenADR Alliance’s OpenADR 2.0 Profile B Specification (HTTP Pull Model), updated July 1, 2013. OpenADR is a machine-to-machine interface that defines the information model, transport and security mechanisms, and the manner in which data is exchanged between two end points. OpenADR 2.0 is an open specification that defines how information is communicated between an electricity service provider and customers, but it does not purport to define how either end point uses the information. This VEN application is one example of how the specification can be applied. This open source application with a graphical user interface, written in C#, was developed as a desktop application designed to provide users with a visual window into the OpenADR 2.0b interface, its information model, XML payloads, interactions with a VTN, and many other views.

The intent of developing the source code and making it available to the open source community is to provide the electric power industry with a research tool to demonstrate and test the OpenADR 2.0 communication specification in different use cases to identify and correct potential gaps in the OpenADR 2.0 specification that can only be identified through a wide range of implementations.
