SGIP Liaison Report to IEEE 802.24

1. Following the SGIP (2.0) Inaugural Conference Nov 5-7, 2013 Date: 2013-11-13 SGIP Liaison Report to IEEE 802.24 Author:

2. Ballot Schedule-4th quarter

3. Status of Priority Action Plans (PAPs)

4. Electromagnetic Interoperability Interference Working Group will begin work on edition 2 of the Smart Grid EMC White Paper, and developing a project for an application or best practice guide to apply EMC test standards to Smart Grid systems and devices. • Home to Grid DEWG ongoing projects include communications between utilities and home devices to facilitate demand-response programs that implement energy management; adapting home appliances for energy management and Transactive Energy (tools for Grid stability); interoperability of micro inverters with home networks and devices; data aggregation and data privacy; and Internet Protocol (IP) interface in home devices for energy management. • The Joint Group of Business to Grid and Industry to Grid expects to complete White Papers on Electrical Storage vs. Thermal Storage and on Transactive Energy Retail Applications in early 2014. There are also plans to develop White Papers for Energy Ecologies Microgrid and Transactive Energy for Residential Applications in 2014 as well as to launch a Priority Action Plan for Transactive Energy. Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs)

5. Distributed Renewables, Generation and Storage Domain Expert Working Group (DRGS DEWG) is coordinating with the Departments of Energy and Defense to define use cases based on Microgrid demonstration projects and is developing architectures and models for information exchange. DRGS DEWG also will be releasing “Distributed Energy Resources (DER): Hierarchical Classification of Use Cases and the Process for Developing Information Exchange Requirements and Object Models” in 2013. • With the fast emergence of Transactive Energy, the Business and Policy DEWG formed an ad hocgroup to explore a framework for data sharing and usage agreements between interacting parties. • Transmission and Distribution DEWG continues to develop scenarios for Transmission Bus Distribution Load Model (TBLM) which facilitates communications between the transmission Energy Management System (EMS) and the Distribution Management System (DMS). In 2013, it focused on developing Scenario 14 which addresses abnormal states of TBLM following Very Large Scale Events such as Superstorm Sandy. Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs)

6. Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee completed its Privacy  Roadmap,  the NISTIR 7628 User’s Guide, the draft of NISTIR 7628 Revision 1, and  mapping of NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) v5 to NISTIR 7628 (Guidelines to Smart Guide for Cybersecurity) • Smart Grid Testing and Certification Committee has been very active in 2013 producing a variety of documents to Identify testing needs and priorities, particularly from the perspective of utilities.  The Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM) version 2 along with a companion document of frequently asked questions, Interoperability Testing and Certification Authorities (ITCA) Development Guide and FAQs and a White Paper on Importance and Value of Testing and Certification for the Smart Grid were released.  In September 2013, SGTCC released its initial report on Priority Testing Issues for Utilities and expects to socialize this report during 2014. Standing Member Committees

7. Smart Grid Architecture Committee worked closely with the European Union to coordinate architectures with European Union on Methodology & Interoperability Work Packages and launched Transactive Energy Working Party and Business to Grid DEWG is near completion on its Transactive Energy Retail Applications White Paper. • Smart Grid Implementation Methods Committee has launched two major projects with a strong focus on real-world implementation of interoperability experiences with Smart Grid. • Interoperability Implementation Experiences (IIE) monthly series with standardized deliverables • Interoperability Mapping Tool Standing Member Committees

8. DTO/PMO report will include highlights of the business portion of the TC meeting. • Transactive Energy Management: • SGAC Transactive Energy Management Working Party • BnP DEWG Transactive Energy Adhoc Group • B2G/I2G DEWG working on tariff ideas • DOE Office of Electricity working on customer side • PAP is not needed at this time • Opportunity to work with GWAC on roadmap • Cybersecurity: • Discussed resilience and utility definition of resilience • Executive Order 13636 – Cybersecurity Framework Summary of Tuesday’s Technical Committee Meeting and Moderated Discussions

9. Emerging PAPs: • AMI Key Management – ANSI C12.19 PAP? • Transactive Energy Retail Applications – DEWGs covering – may propose PAP to develop standardized format for tariffs • Sensors for Transmission and Distribution Networks – TnD DEWG – whitepaper in 2nd Q 2014 • Data sharing and Usage Agreements – BnP discussed – mixed opinions • Distributed Pressure Sensors for Natural Gas – meeting during TC meeting - new PAP? • Microgrids – may need work on “information exchange” – by DRGS DEWG or new PAP Summary of Moderated Discussion Continued
