Smart Grids the need for ICT standards

• Whatever the definition
• EC Smart Grids Task Force (http//www.smartgridto
  day.com/public/939.cfm)
• The European Commission defines a Smart Grid as
  an electricity network that can intelligently
  integrate the actions of all users connected to
  it, including generators, consumers and those
  that do both in order to efficiently deliver
  sustainable, economic and secure electricity
  supplies.
• Smart Grids are an opportunity for the ICT
  industry
• Smart Grids are about power
• but also billing, e-Commerce, subscription
  management, OAM functions, data models,
  connectivity and routing, access technologies,
  data storage, virtualization, cyber-security,
• and ICT Standardization will be a key enabler
• Smart Grids are about building complex
  interoperable ICT systems
• That can only be achieved with global standards
  (like those ETSI is building)

A smarter grid makes this transformation possible
by bringing the philosophies, concepts and
technologies that enabled the Internet to the
utility and the electric grid, US Dept. of
Energy report on Exploring the imperative of
revitalizing Americas electric infrastructure

ICT meets Power the horizontal view

• Service Plane
• Billing
• e-Commerce
• Subscription management and activation
• Business processes
• Control and Connectivity plane
• OAM functions
• Protection and restoration
• Traffic engineering
• Connectivity and routing
• Virtualization
• Access technologies
• Time synchronization
• Energy Plane
• Sensors
• Electric storage and interconnection
• Transmission and Distribution Power Systems, etc.

Similar end goals but different paths

• EU
• Background a fragmented electricity market
• Deregulation of electricity in some EC states
• Vision Start with a smart metering
  infrastructure then extend to a smart grid network

• US
• Background an aging power grid
• Vision Smart meters and AMI are part of the
  toolbox that allows to build a smart grid
  infrastructure

AMI Advanced Metering Infrastructure
Need for a global (architecture) approach and for
regional implementation

Smart Grids and the EU

• Smart Grids Directive 2009/72/EC of 13 July 2009
• "Member States should encourage the modernisation
  of distribution networks, such as through the
  introduction of smart grids, which should be
  built in a way that encourages decentralised
  generation and energy efficiency."
• The EU Smart Grids Task ForceA Steering
  Committee and 3 Expert Groups
• EG 1. Functionalities of Smart Grids and Smart
  Meters.
• State of the art
• standards field trials,, products on the market
• Functionalities
• services, SG components, functions, strategy for
  standards
• EG 2. Regulatory recommendations for data
  safety, data handling data protection.
• Who owns the data? Who has access to the data?
  Need for one (standardized) data model.
• Cybersecurity
• EG 3. Roles and responsibilities of actors
  involved in the deployment of Smart Grids.
• Includes a section on Role of standards
• Results due Mid-2010

EU M/411 Smart Metering Mandate

• European Commission Mandate
• Issued in March 2009 by DG TREN
• Sent to the 3 ESO's CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
• Main objective
• To build standards for European smart meters,
  allowing interoperability and Consumer actual
  consumption awareness
• Time schedule
• March 2009 9 months
• state of the art of existing standards, gap
  analysis, and first Work Program
• March 2009 30 months
• Develop new smart metering standards

ETSI Technical Activities

• ICT Standardization, the core of ETSI activities
• M2M, Smart Metering (within the "Systems with
  Things"cluster)
• Use cases Smart Metering, eHealth, for M2M
  requirements specification
• A flexible Reference Architecture to address the
  requirements
• Application 1 Smart Metering
• Security
• Evolution of Mobile Networks (in 3GPP)
• Enhancements to the 3G/4G networks to support the
  M2M traffic
• Next Generation Networks (in TISPAN)
• NGN,
• Adapting powerline protocols to meet the smart
  grids requirements (in PLT)
• Smart Card Platform (SCP)
• Testing and Interoperability expertise
• Pre-standardization and the link to research
• Industry Specification Groups (ISG)
• Partnerships with EU FP7 Projects and Universities

The ETSI Approach to Smart Grids

• Building on the large ICT expertise of ETSI
  members
• Smart Grids Standards Gap Analysis
• From M2M to Smart Metering to Smart Grids
• Bringing Smart Grids requirements to other
  standards fields
• Wireless Networks, Security,
• Collaboration with all stakeholders in the SG
  ecosystem
• Users
• Regulators, in particular within EU
• International Standardization System partners
• European Standardization System (CEN, CENELEC,
  ETSI)
• Research
• On-going global activities
• June 14th Stop-gap seminar to define the roadmap
  for work
• Joint CEN/CENELEC.ETSI Standards Roadmap Group
• EU Smart Grids Task Force
• Active participation (e.g. TC M2M members) to ITU
  Smart Grids FG

Proposed (embryo of) Resolution

• Recognizing
• That Smart Grids are a major evolution of a key
  component of people's life and well being
• That ICT plays an essential role in allowing the
  implementation of many complex parts of Smart
  Grids (e.g. customer management, )
• That ICT will enable key aspects of Smart Grids
  such as Security, Privacy
• That deployment of Smart Grids will rely on
  global as well as regional and national standards
• Considering
• Resolves
• to encourage ongoing cooperation and
  collaboration among national, regional and
  international activities that relate to
  standardization in the field of "Smart Grids and
  ICT"
• to support Smart Grids as a High Interest
