Green Button Connect My Data in Smart Meter Texas Rob Bevill
Green Button Connect My Data Today’s Messages • SMT already supports manual GBC • SMT lacks an API to automate GBC • Four other states have adopted GBC • GBC drives • automation • interoperability • customer choices • societal benefits
What is Green Button Connect My Data? Machine-to-machine exchange of energy data with customer authorization • 2009: Federal Smart Grid Policy Framework sought standards, interoperability, smart meter deployment • 2009 – 2014: NIST, DOE, utilities and others develop GB standard • 2014: Ratified as NAESB REQ.21 “Energy Service Provider Interface” standard • 2015: Green Button Alliance nonprofit established as independent testing and certification authority
Green Button Connect: 23 million meters and counting • California (D.13-09-025, 2013): 11 million electric meters • Illinois (15-0073, 2016): 5 million electric meters • Washington, D.C.: 26,000 commercial customers • New York (multiple orders): 3.8M (ConEd), 3.4M (others)
GBC example: California (2013) • First large-scale implementation • 13-36 months historical usage data transmitted upon authorization • Third party eligibility criteria: • Provide contact info & tax ID • Acknowledge privacy rules • Not be banned by CPUC
GBC example: Illinois • 24 months historical usage upon authorization • 30-minute intervals • Live in ComEd as of 5/2016 as smart meters deployed (thru 2018)
