Smart Grid Definitions

• An automated, widely distributed energy delivery
  network characterized by a two-way flow of
  electricity and information, capable of
  monitoring and responding to changes in
  everything from power plants to customer
  preferences to individual appliances.
• An electricity delivery system (from point of
  generation to point of consumption) integrated
  with communications and information technology.

IEEEs Role in Smart Grid

• IEEE Utilizes the global expertise
  and synergy of the IEEE's 44 societies
  and technical councils in technical
  development, education,
  publication, and standards
  community
• IEEE-SA Baseline IEEE standards in diverse fields
  such as power, communications, digital
  information management controls technology,
  networking, security, reliability assessment,
  interconnection of distributed resources
  including renewable energy sources to the grid,
  sensors, electric metering, broadband over power
  line, and systems engineering uniquely position
  the IEEE-SA to integrate these technologies into
  a forward-looking platform

IEEE P2030, Draft Guide for Smart Grid
Interoperability of Energy Technology and
Information Technology Operation with the
Electric Power System (EPS), and End-Use
Applications and Loads

• Scope and Purpose
• Scope This document provides guidelines for
  smart grid interoperability. This guide provides
  a knowledge base addressing terminology,
  characteristics, functional performance and
  evaluation criteria, and the application of
  engineering principles for smart grid
  interoperability of the electric power system
  with end use applications and loads. The guide
  discusses alternate approaches to good practices
  for the smart grid.
• Purpose This standard provides guidelines in
  understanding and defining smart grid
  interoperability of the electric power system
  with end-use applications and loads. Integration
  of energy technology and information and
  communications technology is necessary to achieve
  seamless operation for electric generation,
  delivery, and end-use benefits to permit two way
  power flow with communication and control.
  Interconnection and intra-facing frameworks and
  strategies with design definitions are addressed
  in this standard, providing guidance in expanding
  the current knowledge base. This expanded
  knowledge base is needed as a key element in grid
  architectural designs and operation to promote a
  more reliable and flexible electric power system.

IEEE SCC21 P2030 Meeting

• First meeting June 3-5 hosted by Intel
• Over 300 in attendance (in-person and remote
  access)
• Discussion, level setting, planning for future
  work. 
• No motions and voting at the meeting
• Three Task Force breakout sessions
• Power Engineering Technology Task Force
• Leader Sam Sciacca, Microsol, Inc. and Tom
  Prevost, Weidman Diagnostic Solutions
• Information Technology Task Force
• Leader Bob Grow, Intel

• Leader Stefano Galli, Panasonic RD Co of
  America/Bob Heile, Chair-IEEE 802.15 and Zigbee
  Alliance
• Task Forces to address
• Smart Grid Definitions, Topologies,
  Interoperability, end-use, interfaces, and
  integration, etc.)
• Systems Approach focused on Functional and
  Performance Attributes including Test and
  Verification methods

13
IEEE SCC21 P2030 Meeting

• Results A lot of brainstorming and from that,
  some general conclusions e.g.
• IT had good support for starting with the NIST
  Design Expert Working Groups as initial
  demarcation points for separation of utility
  function from customers, generation facilities
  (including home generation), etc. 
• There was general agreement that significant
  liaison between Task Forces will be required,
  e.g.
• The Power Task Force will be requesting
  capabilities and proposing assumptions for the
  capabilities to be delivered by the
  Communications and IT TFs
• All 3 Task Forces will be meeting either via
  teleconference or in-person prior to the next
  P2030 meeting
• October timeframe, possibly hosted by IBM
• Overall a very positive and collaborative first
  meeting

  compromises)
• Security intrusion prevention and detection,
  focused on demarcs
• Data Integrity undetected error requirements,
  communications and storage
• Safety human (support for overides), device and
  grid
• Customer requires multi-manager (utility and
  customer) for both status and control
• Begin with interfaces to define interoperability
  demarcation points
• Also will consider intrafaces (within a cloud)
• Focus on object-oriented device/function
  definitions
• Accommodate dumb devices (aggregated)
• Data structures, definitions and formats

• Task Forces 1 2
• Define information attributes
• (Where, When, Who, What)

A
B
PHY/MAC

• Task Force 3
• Addresses communications interoperability between
  devices within SmartGrid
• Describe layers above PHY/MAC and below Layer 6
• Neutral to PHY/MAC standards used in the Smart
  Grid
• PHY/MAC standards are being developed by other
  groups
• Interoperability of electric power systems with
  end use applications and loads should be
  maintained regardless of the PHY/MAC

Observations

• Smart grid Standards will extend across the
  entire grid (i.e., need interoperability
  standards (top down) and building block standards
  (bottom up).
• Smart grid Equipment Standards will be needed to
  handle information data management,
  communications and control.
• Flexible smart grid system Interoperability
  Design and operational Standards will allow near
  term and long term smart grid evolution.
• Development of a body of Interoperability Smart
  grid Standards need to be initiated now.

18
Global Commitment

• Smart Grid standardization will be a broad global
  collaborative effort across multiple communities
• Standards development organizations
• Government organizations
• Private sector
