The ITU-T Smart Grid Focus Group aims to develop standardization deliverables for the smart grid, including an overview, use cases, requirements, architecture, and terminology. Collaboration with other organizations is key to avoid duplication of effort.

ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Grid David Su Vice Chair, Focus Group on Smart Grid
ITU-T Focus Group on Smart Grid Creation of the FG: Established in February 2010 Activities: • Had 8 meetings so far • Developing 5 deliverables: • Overview • Use cases • Requirements • Architecture • Terminology Details are at: http://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/smart/Pages/Default.aspx

Key areas for standardization Source:ITU
Interfaces to be standardized 5 domains+5 reference points • RP 1—Interface between grid Domain and the Service Providers domains • RP 2—For metering information exchange • RP 3—Interface between operators/service providers and customers • RP 4--services and applications to all actors • RP 5—optional, between Smart metering and Customer domain Source: ITU
Importance of Global Standards in Smart Grid • The “union” between the Communications and Power industries is still unconsummated, but it will happen as building a new ICT infrastructure is very costly • Telecom industry and service providers have a very important role in the smart grid • Cloud based hosted energy service providers will reach the home also via existing broadband access technologies • Broadband access has a role in demand side management • Another driver for convergence is that Smart Grid does not end at the meter but it enters the home. • Many aspects of the Smart Grid are directly related to the availability of a home networking and consumer participation is key in demand side management programs • This will also shape the future of the Consumer Electronics industry through new energy efficiency standards
Collaboration is essential • Avoid duplication of effort • More than 25 related organizations invited to the first meeting, e.g. • National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), • Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
Next Steps / Actions • Focus Group finalizes deliverables end of 2011. • Future direction will be decided at next TSAG (January 2012) • Mechanism/organization to progress standardization • Items for standardization • Collaboration with other organization
ITU-T Focus Groups • Quick development of specifications in chosen areas • Addressing industry needs • Participation is open • Recent FG success story: Focus Group ICT & Climate Change (July 2008-April 2009)

Smart Grid benefit: cut peak load • … through AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) – two way communication • Demand/response: cut energy use during times of peak demand • Dynamic pricing: encourages to reduce power consumption voluntarily during peak period
Smart Grid benefit: Integrating renewable energy • Output of renewable energy sources (wind, solar ...) varies • makes integration with conventional power grid difficult • Smart Grid: • Wide-Area Situational Awareness • Electric vehicles-to-grid (load and electric storage)
