Requirements for Energy Management
Abstract
This document defines requirements for standards specifications for
Energy Management. The requirements defined in this document are
concerned with monitoring functions as well as control functions.
Monitoring functions include identifying energy-managed devices and
their components, as well as monitoring their Power States, Power
Inlets, Power Outlets, actual power, Power Attributes, received
energy, provided energy, and contained batteries. Control functions
include such functions as controlling power supply and Power State of
energy-managed devices and their components.
This document does not specify the features that must be implemented
by compliant implementations but rather lists features that must be
supported by standards for Energy Management.
Status of This Memo
This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is
published for informational purposes.
This document is a product of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF). It represents the consensus of the IETF community. It has
received public review and has been approved for publication by the
Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG). Not all documents
approved by the IESG are a candidate for any level of Internet
Standard; see Section 2 of RFC 5741.
