This standard defines in simplistic terms how to create, transmit, and act upon a forecast optimum load shape (OLS) that may be used to manage the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) and facility batteries, or otherwise used to manage electrical load. This OLS standard provides for end-to-end, generation to load control of the electric power grid towards the goals of reducing energy costs, maximizing the use of renewable energy, and accelerating the adoption, monetization, resiliency, and societal benefits of microgrids, EVs, and batteries.
