Training for baseline engineering, telemetry QA, and DR integration teams.
Build repeatable competence across baseline design, event performance interpretation, telemetry quality, OpenADR, IEEE 2030.5, Matter, and real-world demand response program structure.
Choose your learning path
Start with a curated track if you want a guided progression from core concepts into practical GridMango workflows.
DR Foundations
Start with demand response market roles, event lifecycle, participant obligations, and the engineering context behind program operations.
Baseline & Event Performance
Choose methodologies intentionally, configure same-day adjustment, and explain how event performance numbers are produced and reviewed.
Telemetry QA
Learn to detect timestamp drift, missing intervals, DST artifacts, and repair decisions before they distort downstream analytics.
OpenADR Integration
Move from profile setup to event handling, telemetry reporting, and migration planning with practical OpenADR implementation guidance.
Protocol & Device Control
Understand how IEEE 2030.5 and Matter fit into DERMS-oriented control, interoperability, and residential device orchestration workflows.
Program Design & Controls
Design programs with the right customer segment, control strategy, and event performance methodology for the operational objective you are trying to serve.
Browse by topic
Use topic clusters when you already know the problem space and just need the right lesson, lab, or reference.
Candidate selection and event performance
Explore the methodology choices that shape baseline defensibility, settlement outcomes, and reviewer trust.
Detect data issues before they distort analysis
Timezone alignment, interval integrity, patching discipline, and settlement-grade telemetry handling.
Profiles, events, and telemetry reporting
Operational OpenADR guidance for VEN/VTN setup, event participation, telemetry reporting, and migration planning.
IEEE 2030.5 and Matter in context
See how utility-facing DER control and residential device protocols differ, overlap, and support future orchestration patterns.
Controls, customer types, and methodology choices
Compare residential vs C&I programs, align control styles to program objectives, and choose the right performance lens.
Curated source material
Use carefully selected official references when you need source context without turning the Academy into an unstructured document dump.
Practice in GridMango
Each lab now includes step-by-step instructions so your team can learn the workflow before opening the tool.
Run your first baseline
Follow a guided exercise to upload telemetry, configure the event window, test methodology options, and interpret the exported baseline outputs.
Diagnose timezone drift
Practice identifying when UTC/local assumptions or DST boundaries are causing candidate-day misalignment and misleading event interpretation.
Repair missing intervals without losing trust
See how patching decisions affect auditability and learn when a dataset should be corrected versus rejected outright.
Test VEN reporting workflow
Configure a VEN profile, assign devices, and inspect how polling, participation, and EiReport choices interact during integration validation.
Reference shelf
Curated external resources support the training paths without turning the Academy into an unstructured document dump.
OpenADR and program guidance
Reference official OpenADR downloads, FAQs, and DR program guidance when you need source-level context.
NREL and public methodology context
Use public demand response research to ground program, baseline, and telemetry design decisions in a broader industry context.
IEEE 2030.5 and Matter reference points
Track where utility-facing DER control and residential energy management standards intersect with demand response workflows.
