  1. From Catalog of Standards toInteroperable DeploymentsA Field Area Network Perspective Paul Duffy Cisco Connected Energy December 2012

  2. The NIST/SGIP Standards Pool • NIST SP 1108 (Framework for SG Interoperability) identifies 75 specification candidates. • SGIP (CSWG, SGAC, etc) has so far recommended 41 standards for CoS • CoS will continue to grow. • This just North America. • Plenty of guidance is available from GWAC, SGAC etc re: conceptual workings of a Smart Grid architecture. • How does all this come together re: production of an actual, interoperable, deployable, secure Field Area Network?

  3. Multi Service FAN (GridBlocks™ Reference Model) Distributed Generation • Distribution Automation: • Volt/Var control • Fault Isolation/Restoration • Transformer Monitoring • Etc PEV Charging Station • BANs and HANs: • Metering • Outage Management • Demand Response • Pricing • Etc Transmission and Distribution Substations Substation Automation Field / Neighborhood Area Network (FAN / NAN) Use Cases

  4. Field Area Network Use Cases • Obvious first step is to define the operational requirements of the FAN • Technology choices are made to fulfill those requirements. • Applicable standards are selected as appropriate. • We have many utility use case references… • SCE • Intelligrid • OpenSG’sSG-Network Effort. • Utility RFPs

  5. Open Standards Reference Model • Use cases drive requirements. Requirements + recommended Standards = Implemantation. • Standardization at all levels to ensure interoperability and reduce technology risk for utilities • IP enables common application layer services over various wired and wireless communication technologies App. Layer IEEE 1888 SNMP, IPfix, DNS, NTP, SSH,… Web Services/EXI IEC 61968 CIM ANSI C12.19/C12.22 DLMS COSEM IEC 61850 IEC 60870 DNP MODBUS HTTPS/CoAP TCP/UDP Routing – RPL IPv6 / IPv4 Addressing, Multicast, QoS, Security Network Functionality 802.1x / EAP-TLS based Access Control Solution Comm. Network Layer IETF RFC 5072 IETFRFC 2464 IETF RFC 5121 6LoWPAN (RFC 6282) 802.15.4e MAC enhancements PHY / MAC Functionality IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 2G / 3G / LTE Cellular IEEE 802.3 Ethernet IEEE 802.16 WiMax IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi IEEE P1901.2 MAC IEEE 802.15.4 MAC (including FHSS IEEE P1901.2 PHY IEEE 802.15.4 2.4GHz DSSS IEEE 802.15.4g (FSK, DSSS, OFDM)

  6. Interoperability “Are We There Yet?” • No … still not specific enough to construct a working system. • The specifications typically contain many optional behaviors (sausage making) • Three pieces are missing… • A technical “Profile” • Which collection of specifications is used. • How each of the technologies is used. • How each of the technologies is configured. • A test plan and certification program defining how we test for compliance to the profile • A “Plugfest” program to insure multiple vendors implementations do in fact interop

  7. Enter the Alliances • Pick up where the standards process leaves off. • Formed to develop specific profiles, test plans, and certification/interoperability programs. • Often provide a logo program for compliant devices. • Many examples. • WiFi Alliance(802.11) • WiMAX Forum (802.16) • CableLabs (DOCSIS etc) • Digital Living Network Alliance (uPNP, etc) • OpenADR • Etc. • Who will perform the Alliance function for Smart Grid Field Area Network?

  8. For the FAN: Wi-SUN

  9. For the FAN: HomePlugNetricity

  10. Cisco's FAN Alliance Strategy • Wi-SUN Smart Utility Network for wireless mesh • HomeplugNetricity for PLC App. Layer IEEE 1888 SNMP, IPfix, DNS, NTP, SSH,… Web Services/EXI IEC 61968 CIM ANSI C12.19/C12.22 DLMS COSEM IEC 61850 IEC 60870 DNP MODBUS HTTPS/CoAP Netricity Wi-SUN TCP/UDP Routing – RPL IPv6 / IPv4 Addressing, Multicast, QoS, Security Network Functionality 802.1x / EAP-TLS based Access Control Solution Comm. Network Layer IETF RFC 5072 IETFRFC 2464 IETF RFC 5121 6LoWPAN (RFC 6282) 802.15.4e MAC enhancements PHY / MAC Functionality IEEE 802.15.4 MAC 2G / 3G / LTE Cellular IEEE 802.3 Ethernet IEEE 802.16 WiMax IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi IEEE P1901.2 MAC IEEE 802.15.4 MAC (including FHSS IEEE P1901.2 PHY IEEE 802.15.4 2.4GHz DSSS IEEE 802.15.4g (FSK, DSSS, OFDM)

  11. Closing Remarks • Cisco aims to drive interoperability for Field Area Networks. • End goal is for interoperable, secured, scalable, multi service FAN. • Supporting wireless mesh and PLC based Field Area Networks. • IP based means easy ability to incorporate other PHY/MAC. • Wi-SUN and HomeplugNetricity are our choice of venue. • We encourage the Smart Grid community to rally around these programs!
