2.3 ICT including Energy Efficiency, Smart Grid and Smart Meters
2.3.1 Announcement of Telecommunications Standards Development Society:
SESEI held series of meetings with Senior Officials at DoT (Department of Telecommunications) and Deity (Department of Electronics, Information and Technology) to discuss proposed creation of TSDSI (Telecom Standards Development Society for India).
A Status Update meeting took place with Mr. R.K.Pathak, Deputy Direct General (DDG) DoT responsible for formulating bye-laws, of Indian Telecom SDO. It was highlighted that TSDSI (Telecommunication Standards Development Society of India) will be registered as a non-profit society under Indian law in a Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode. In Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) meeting held in Jeju, Korea during May 12-15, 2013, India was represented by DoT Additional Secretary Ms Rita Tewatia where DoT made a formal intent of setting up TSDSI. TSDSI is in line with the Government of India's policy as outlined in the National Telecom Policy (NTP)-2012 which mentions setting up an SDO with participation from all stakeholders. The Bye-Laws and Memorandum of Association (MoA) have been drafted based on principles of inclusiveness, transparent, fair and consensus based approach for running the TSDO. The Department of Telecom/Government of India were consulted while drafting the bye-laws and there is broad agreement with the structure and bylaws. Recognizing the need of setting up such an
organization at the earliest, professionals from industry, academia and R&D labs are coming together to establish TSDSI as an autonomous ‘not for profit' society. Current council of TSDSI is only an interim one. Once more organizations and companies become members, elected council will take over and the current council will be dissolved. SESEI will continue working and following up establishment of TSDSI and when appropriate, formal LoI/MoU would be signed and supported.
2.3.2 Smart Grid and List of Standards
India Smart Grid Knowledge Portal (http://indiasmartgrid.org/en/Pages/Index.aspx ), a common platform for Smart Grid knowledge sharing and information dissemination to all stakeholders, is an initiative of Ministry of Power, Government of India with the support of India Smart Grid Task Force and India Smart Grid Forum. The later released a final copy of the Smart Grid Roadmap in India as approved and available at below link:
SESEI participated in their workshop held on June 21st (read below section 3.4) and as shared, during a dedicated Standardization section, progress on European Standards activity on Smart Grid.
A webinar is also planned with the forum on 11th July to share the first set of standards report and presentation.
2.3.3 Energy Efficiency of Telecommunication Equipment: Telecommunication Engineering Center (TEC):
A meeting was held with TEC on Energy Efficiency standards, guidelines and test certification procedures following up on earlier discussions. TEC is in the process of preparing testing and certification procedure/methodology to certify telecom products and Equipment. In close coordination with ETSI (and in particular it’s Technical Committee on Environmental Engineering – TC EE), SESEI pursued following points towards TEC for which TEC appears to be positive for its acceptance and consideration.
Accept Energy Efficiency (EE) as a global norm instead of ECR (Energy Consumption Rating) as directed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)
Seek clarification on “what is meant by Services” in TRAI mandate and submit them a progress update.
SESEI highlighted a) Standards are voluntary in nature and not mandatory b) Manufacturers have the needed Lab setup hence Self Declaration of Conformity (SDoC) are the suggested way forward. If TEC brings mandatory certification it becomes a technical regulation and WTO-TBT is activated as this category of regulation is not related to security, safety or health, etc.
TEC shared positive comments on the ETSI standards; a mapping of various nodes to corresponding standard was done and shared during the meeting, however due to TRAI’s mandate they have to evolve the testing/certification procedure/methodology to certify telecom products and Equipment.
SESEI is in close coordination with ETSI and plans to continue working closely with TEC on this activity.
