The NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Framework and the Role of CIM Jerry FitzPatrick National Institute of Standards and Technology CIM Users Group Meeting November 11, 2009

2 Outline Introduction EISA NIST Three Phase Plan NIST Interoperability Framework and Roadmap, Release 1.0 NIST Priority Action Plans (PAPs) for standards coordination and relation to CIM

The NIST Role In cooperation with the DoE, NEMA, IEEE, GWAC, and other stakeholders, NIST has “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…” Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 Title XIII, Section Smart Grid Interoperability Framework

NIST Interoperability Framework – History 2007 EISA gives NIST responsibility for a Smart Grid Framework 2008 NIST forms Domain Expert Working Groups –T&D, Home-to-Grid, Building-to-Grid, Industry-to-Grid, PEV-to-Grid, Business and Policy, Cyber Security 2009 ARRA accelerates need for standards –EPRI selected as contractor 2009 NIST holds large-scale workshops to identify standards –Several hundred stakeholders from a variety of groups –April 28-29: Produced draft list of 16 standards: “low hanging fruit” –May 19-20: Analyzed use cases, requirements and standards –August 3-4: Developed Priority Action Plans with SDO representatives 2009 August EPRI produces Roadmap Report from workshops 2009 September –NIST Smart Grid Framework draft 1.0 released –EnerNex selected as contractor for next phase s 4

NIST Smart Grid Framework – 1.0 Draft Smart Grid Vision –Concepts, benefits –Importance to National Energy Policy –Key attributes Conceptual Reference Model –To be used for discussing uses, relationships, use cases –Consists of domains, actors, applications, networks, paths Standards Identified for Implementation –Original 16 from first workshop –Additional 15 in this document –Included 46 more “for consideration” –Asks for review of standards selection criteria Priority Action Plans –Gaps in existing standards, missing standards, harmonization –Agreed on in workshops with SDO representatives 6

Draft Standards Acceptance Criteria Enables Smart Grid characteristics as defined by EISA, DOE Smart Grid System Report Is applicable to one of the priority areas identified by FERC and NIST Enables the transition of the legacy power grid to the Smart Grid. Is an open, stable and mature industry-level standard developed in consensus processes from a standards development organization Is supported by an SDO or Users Group to ensure that it is regularly revised and improved to meet changing requirements and that there is strategy for continued relevance. Is openly available under fair, reasonable, & nondiscriminatory terms. Is developed and adopted internationally, wherever practical 9

SGIP Vision Public-private partnership to support NIST EISA responsibility Open, transparent body Representation from all SG stakeholder groups Membership open to any materially interested stakeholder organizations Not dominated by any one group SGIP does not directly develop or write standards –Stakeholders participate in the ongoing coordination, acceleration and harmonization of standards development. –Reviews use cases, identifies requirements, coordinates conformance testing, and proposes action plans for achieving these goals. 11

SGIP Vision (2) SGIP Governing Board –Review and prioritizes the work of the SGIP –Coordinates necessary resources (in dialog with SDOs, user groups, and others) to carry out finalized action plans in efficient and effective manner. Standing Committees –SG Architecture Committee (SGAC) –SG Testing and Certification (SGTC) –Additional Committees will be created as needed Working Groups –Cyber Security Coordination Task Group –DEWGs Structure will be refined as appropriate 12

What are Priority Action Plans (PAPs)? NIST workshops identified priority standards issues –many standards require revision or enhancement –and new standards need to be developed to fill gaps A total of 70 priority standards issues were identified in the EPRI report NIST determined which require most urgent resolution and selected top 14 to initiate PAPs The August SDO Workshop was used to develop the action plan for each priority issue. Current status for each PAP is posted on the NIST website –broad SDO and stakeholder support and participation –aggressive milestones in 2009 or early 2010 established The Smart Grip Interoperability Panel will guide oversee progress on PAPs and development of new PAPs.
