TIA/ANSI Presentation onNew and Novel Topic (NNT) Agenda Item 7 “Smart Grid” David Su
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards • David Su, NIST • On Behalf of TIA and ANSI and for • George W. Arnold, Eng.Sc.D. • National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability • National Institute of Standards and Technology
U.S. Initiative on Smart Grid • Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 initiated work to develop the Smart Grid Interoperability Framework • In cooperation with the DoE, NEMA, IEEE, GWAC, and other stakeholders, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has “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 …”
The Need for Standards is Urgent Example: Smart Meters $40 - $50 billion dollar deployment nationwide Underway now Rapid technology evolution Absence of firm standards Source: Congressional Research Service Report

Example: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle – Grid Interface Coordination is required among several standards bodies NFPA (National Electric Code) SAE J2847 (communication) IEEE (National ElectricSafety Code) UL (Enclosures) ANSI/NEMA C12 (Meter) SAE J1772 (connector) IEEE 1547 (distributed energy interconnection) Additional standards will be needed for: communications/Information protocols for charge management, power injection management, operations and maintenance, metering, roaming.
NIST Three Phase Plan PHASE 1 Identify an initial set of existing consensus standards and develop a roadmap to fill gaps PHASE 2 Establish public/private Standards Panel to provide ongoing recommendations for new/revised standards PHASE 3 Testing and Certification Framework 2009 2010 March September
Release 1.0 Standards Identified for NIST Interoperability Framework Following the April 28-29 Smart Grid Interoperability workshop, NIST deemed that sufficient consensus has been achieved on 16 initial standards On May 18, NIST announced intention to identify these standards in the interoperability framework following 30 day comment period. NIST’s announcement recognized that some of these standards will require further development and many additional standards will be needed. NIST will identify additional standards for inclusion on a rolling basis
We Need A Standards Roadmap • Capabilities • Priorities • Reference Model • Standards • Release Plan • Responsibilities • Governance • Testing and Certification
Roadmap Focus Areas • FERC-identified priority applications: • Demand Response • Wide-Area Situational Awareness • Electric Storage • Electric Transportation • Additional priority applications: • Advanced Metering Infrastructure • Distribution Grid, including Distributed Energy Resource Integration • Cross-cutting priorities • Cybersecurity • A GSC High Interest Subject area • Data networking
EPRI Report: Key Gaps and Issues • Over 80 candidate existing standards identified • 70 Standards gaps and issues identified • Some key items: • Need for smart meter software upgradeability standard • Understanding RF interference issues for unlicensed band communications • Pricing information model • Open access protocol for energy usage information • Interface to grid for energy storage (in IEEE 1547) • Standard demand response signals • …
NIST to organized a workshop in early August – focus on SDO roles/responsibilities to fill gaps NIST Roadmap to be published mid-September SDOs are anticipated to expedite the work on identified standards gaps. Next Steps: Plan to Fill Gaps
End of Phase 1: September 2009 Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Framework Release 1.0
Phase 2: Standards Panel • Launch Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Panel by Year End 2009 • Representation from all stakeholder groups • Administered by private-sector organization • RFP in May 2009 • Functions: • Evolve Roadmap • Ongoing coordination • Recommend new or revised standards for NIST framework • Monitor implementation
