23. Special Working Group on Smart Grid Background The JTC1 Special Working Group on Smart Grid was established at the October 2009 JTC1 Plenary in Tel Aviv. Terms of Reference 1) Identify market requirements and standardization gaps for Smart Grid with particular attention to standards supporting the interoperability of Smart Grid technology and needed international standardization. 2) Encourage JTC 1 SCs to address the need for ISO/IEC Smart Grid International Standards. 3) Promote JTC 1 developed International Standards for Smart Grid and encourage them to be recognized and utilized by the industry and SDOs. 4) Coordinate JTC 1 Smart Grid activities with IEC, ISO, ITU‐T and other SDOs that are developing standards for Smart Grid, especially the IEC SMB Strategic Group 3 on Smart Grid. 5) Periodically report results and recommendations to JTC 1 SWG‐Planning and coordinate ongoing work with related plans. 6) Provide a written report of activities and recommendations in advance of the 2010 JTC 1 Plenary meeting in Belfast. Australian involvement on Smart Grid to date Australia is currently a Member of IEC SG3 Strategic Group – Smart Grid and has entered an Agreement with the Australian Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism to examine the degree to which Australian Standards are required to support the early introduction of Smart Grids in Australia by: a)Addressing key public safety risks (and perceptions of risk) b)Managing key consumer issues in respect of energy users in general, and smart grid users in particular c)Minimise early commercialisation risks for industry and government by providing a sound framework for continued industry investment in smart grid technologies In addressing the above objectives, Standards Australia recognises that the Smart Grids Agenda will also be shaped by (a) market regulations, (b) infrastructure limitations, and (d) government policy. In addition, any future standards must recognise the dynamic nature of the emerging agenda and therefore must not unnecessarily constrain innovation. A Smart Grid Standards Roadmap is due to be released in April 2012. Return to main diagram
