Smart Grid Standardization

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.”

IEEE’s 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

Interoperability

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 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

IEEE SCC21 P2030 MeetingFirst 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 ForceLeader: Bob Grow, Intel

Communications Technology Task ForceLeader: Stefano Galli, Panasonic R&D 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

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

Task Force 1: Power Engineering Technology

TF-1 will focus on functional requirements of interoperability 6 Work Groups

Energy SourcesTransmissionTransmission SubstationDistributionLoad Side (Working Title)Cybersecurity

Outreach for input/participationCollaboration with TF-2 and TF-3

Contact: Sam Sciacca samuels@microsol.comTom Prevost tom.prevost@wicor.com

Task Force 2: Information Technology

Privacy – support different ownership of data (aggregation enhances, high granularity 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

o Accommodate “dumb” devices (aggregated)o Data structures, definitions and formats

Task Forces 1 & 2 • Define information attributes

(Where, When, Who, What)

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.

Global Commitment

Smart Grid standardization will be a broad global collaborative effort across multiple communities
