The Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid A Presentation by David Sorensen of WestCAMP at the September 13 th Meeting of PNCECE in Spokane 1

Some Background on NIST’s Role in Smart Grid   NIST has been responsible for establishing the Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, including cybersecurity (George Arnold).   NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology)has worked closely with DOE (the Department of Energy).   Input has been sought from hundreds of organizations, agencies, universities, etc.   NIST has funded this activity to date. 2

Some Background on NIST’s Role in Smart Grid (cont.)   A Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) is being formed to manage the standards beginning in   There are about 20 major organizations such as IEEE & NEMA that will be serving on the panel.   SGIP membership will range from ~$500 for individuals to ~25,000 for major corporations. 3

Some Background on NIST’s Role in Smart Grid (cont.)   A Smart Grid Interoperability Standards activities have been under way for 3 years.   In January of 2012, release 2.0 of the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards was issued.   The following slides outline some details of the more than 200 page framework and roadmap. 4

15 For Release 2.0, a standard, specification, or guideline is evaluated on whether it: Is well-established and widely acknowledged as important to the Smart Grid. Is an open, stable, and mature industry-level standard developed in a consensus process from a standards development organization (SDO). Enables the transition of the legacy power grid to the Smart Grid. Has, or is expected to have, significant implementations, adoption, and use. Is supported by an SDO or standards- or specification-setting organization (SSO) such as a users group to ensure that it is regularly revised and improved to meet changing requirements and that there is a strategy for continued relevance. Is developed and adopted internationally, wherever practical. Is integrated and harmonized, or there is a plan to integrate and harmonize it with complementing standards across the utility enterprise through the use of an industry architecture that documents key points of interoperability and interfaces. * Enables one or more of the framework characteristics as defined by EISA or enables one or more of the six chief characteristics of the envisioned Smart Grid.† Addresses, or is likely to address, anticipated Smart Grid requirements identified through the NIST workshops and other stakeholder engagement. ‡ Is applicable to one of the priority areas identified by FERC o Demand Response and Consumer Energy Efficiency; o Wide Area Situational Awareness; o Electric Storage; o Electric Transportation; o Advanced Metering Infrastructure; o Distribution Grid Management; o Cybersecurity; and o Network Communications. and NIST: *Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 [Public Law No: ] Title XIII, Sec † U.S. Department of Energy, Smart Grid System Report, July ‡ Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Smart Grid Policy, 128 FERC ¶ 61,060 [Docket No. PL ] July 16, See For Release 2.0, a standard, specification, or guideline is evaluated on whether it: Is well-established and widely acknowledged as important to the Smart Grid.

16 Enables one or more of the framework characteristics as defined by EISA or enables one or more of the six chief characteristics of the envisioned Smart Grid. Addresses, or is likely to address, anticipated Smart Grid requirements identified through the NIST workshops and other stakeholder engagement. Is applicable to one of the priority areas identified by FERC and NIST: o Demand Response and Consumer Energy Efficiency; o Wide Area Situational Awareness; o Electric Storage; o Electric Transportation; o Advanced Metering Infrastructure; o Distribution Grid Management; o Cybersecurity; and o Network Communications. Guiding Principles for Identifying Standards for Implementation

17 Focuses on the semantic understanding layer of the GWAC stack,* which has been identified as most critical to Smart Grid interoperability. Is openly available under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms. Has associated conformance tests or a strategy for achieving them. Accommodates legacy implementations. Allows for additional functionality and innovation through: o Symmetry – facilitates bidirectional flows of energy and information. o Transparency – supports a transparent and auditable chain of transactions. o Composition – facilitates building of complex interfaces from simpler ones. o Extensibility – enables adding new functions or modifying existing ones. o Loose coupling – helps to create a flexible platform that can support valid bilatera land multilateral transactions without elaborate prearrangement.** o Layered systems – separates functions, with each layer providing services to the layer above and receiving services from the layer below. o Shallow integration – does not require detailed mutual information to interact with other managed or configured components.

34 The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) Governing Board voted on July 10, 2012 to support the new business sustainment plan for the SGIP. The plan outlines the SGIP's transition to a self-sustaining not-for-profit legal entity that will continue its partnership with the government, a move that NIST envisioned when it established the SGIP in 2009.

35 The decision represents a major milestone in the implementation of the Smart Grid Interoperability Framework coordinated by NIST in carrying out its responsibilities under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

36 "NIST supports the plan and commends the SGIP and its leadership in taking this important step forward," said George Arnold, the National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability. "NIST intends to continue undiminished its engagement in the SGIP at both technical and leadership levels."

The Future The Smart Grid Program is not a 1 or 2 year activity. It will take 20 or 30 years to fully mature. As it gets implemented, we will realize new and better way to accomplish its objectives and there will continue to be significant improvement in tools, technologies and methods. We need to consider seriously what part we want to play. What are our specific strengths and weaknesses? What can we do better than many others? What are some unique needs of the program that we can specifically address? Now is the time to plan for our future participation in the Smart Grid Progarm. 38
