The typical user journey on OpenVPP would go as follows:
User Connection into VPP:
User lands on a utility or device vendor hosted web page
User enters qualification information into the web page
Device make, model, and identifier (e.g. serial number)
Address and other site data if needed (may be pre-populated by the device vendor or utility)
Payment is gathered if needed (depending on program, the cost may be paid by the device vendor or utility instead of the user)
Enrollment
Enrollment request is passed to the OpenVPP Routing Service via API
Connectivity parameters, certificate, and any other data needed for authentication are returned
Device connects to utility server
User Successfully Connected Device to Utility
Any other utility side program enrollment continue ̈
User device can now be controlled and compensated for based on terms of the program
It’s expected the $OVPP to connect would be in the $1-20 equivalent range, with value to the user per device around $100-1,000/year depending on the program and capability of the device.
