3. NIST – Who We Are The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the U.S. National Measurement Laboratory -- Mission: to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology -- support objectives of federal participation in the development and use of voluntary standards. 3

4. NIST Pre-EISA Smart Grid Activities • Synchrophasor Metrology • state-of-the-art standards test facility for phasor measurement units (PMUs) • standard communication protocol for sharing data and commands among different automation and control equipment in a facility • foundation in HVAC and Lighting • Developing communication protocols between utilities and commercial buildings • http://www.bacnet.org/ • Industrial Control System (ICS) • Security Project • develop standards,guidelines and test methods to secure critical control systems DoE/NIST High-Megawatt Converters 300 MW Zero-Emission Fuel Cell Power Plant 800 kV DC Power Transmission • reduce cost of grid interfaces through high voltage, high frequency power electronic converters http://csrc.nist.gov/sec-cert/ics 4

5. Smart Grid Characteristics from EISA • Increased use of digital information and controls technology • Dynamic optimization of grid operations (with full cybersecurity) • Deployment and integration of distributed resources and generation, including renewables • Development of “smart” technologies including appliances, and devices • Development of standards for communication and interoperability of appliances and equipment connected to the grid 5

6. NIST Roles in Smart Grid Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 Title XIII, Section 1305. Smart Grid Interoperability Framework The Framework: Protocols and standards that shall further align policy, business, & technology solutions • Enable connection of all electric resources, including demand-side resources, into an efficient, reliable grid • Seek input from: • FERC, DoE OE & Smart Grid Task Force, Smart Grid Advisory Committee, and other relevant Federal agencies • GWAC, IEEE, NEMA NIST “… shall have primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems …” 6

7. NIST Roles in Smart Grid (cont’d) Scope of framework: • Flexible, uniform, technology-neutral • Needs to accommodate traditional generation and transmission • distributed generation, renewables, energy storage, energy efficiency • enabling devices and systems • flexibility to accommodate • regional and organizational differences • new technologies • Should include voluntary standards for electric appliances and equipment for homes and businesses that • Enable emergency response or demand response for • load reduction • adjustment to load to provide ancillary services • response to crisis or load shedding to preserve grid reliability 7

9. Standards Committees Activities • ANSI/NEMA Electricity Metering Committee C12 • NASPI/EIPP PMU System Testing and Calibration Guide Task Team • IEEE Electricity Metering Subcommittee • IEEE PES Power Systems Instrumentation and Measurement Committee • ASHRAE BACnet Utility Integration Working Group • IEEE 802.21, Media Independent Handover group • IEEE 802.15, WPAN, Task Group (TG) 6 on Body Area Networks (BANs) • Interagency AdvancedPower Group – Electrical Systems Working Group 9

10. NIST work plan summary • (June - Sept 08) Review the current state of Smart Grid related standards and interoperability and present this in an overview Landscape Map tied to a detailed standards knowledge base. This will become a platform for developing consensus on where interoperability gaps exist and priorities for addressing those gaps. • (Sept 23-25) Present this information at GridWeek and invite participation in a NIST Interoperability Standards Workshop at GridInterop (Nov 11) that will be focused on evaluating a roadmap for addressing standards gaps and path toward interoperability. • NIST is also working to develop domain expert working groups to help with Gridweek and the workshop as well as to guide and sustain action on standards development and harmonization activities. 10

11. NIST EISA Work Plan schematic Development of Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs) • Work with stakeholders: • Roadmap design • GridWeek and workshop planning • Landscape Map prep 2008 DEWGs input on draft standards interoperability roadmap SG Knowledge Base development Meetings with NIST Stakeholders Ongoing Standards coordination March June Sept 23-25, DC GridWeek Nov. 11 Atlanta GridInterop NIST SG Workshop December 08 progress report December 2007 EISA enactment Website up and work plan available Present SG Knowledge Base and Landscape Map at GridWeek Roadmap presentation and review in domain breakouts http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/ • December 2008 progress report will include: • Introduction with EISA directions and scope • Summary of completed work efforts • Standards Landscape Map and overview of Smart Grid KB. • Smart Grid Standards Roadmap version 1.0 • Summary of stakeholder input • Future year plans 11

13. Summary • 2007 EISA has mandated that NIST lead the coordination of a interoperability framework of object model standards and protocols • DEWGs are being established to identify standards needs in Smart Grid domain areas • A one-day NIST Interoperability Standards Workshop will be held in November co-joined with the GridInterop conference • A report will be published in December on the status of interoperability standards for the Smart Groups 13
