IEEE Activities in Smart Grid & Green Technologies Dr. Bilel Jamoussi South Africa 26 October 2009

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

IEEE Standards Setting: P2030 Three Task Forces: –Power Engineering Technology Task Force –Information Technology Task Force –Communications Technology Task Force All 3 Task Forces will address near and long-term Smart Grid evolution, focusing on: –Smart Grid definitions, topologies, interoperability, end-use, interfaces, and integration; and –Functional and performance system attributes including test and verification methods

Task Force 1: Power Engineering Technology TF-1 will focus on functional requirements of interoperability 6 Work Groups –Energy Sources –Transmission –Transmission Substation –Distribution –Load Side (Working Title) –Cybersecurity Outreach for input/participation Collaboration with TF-2 and TF-3

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

A B Who defines attributes of info? [TF1 or TF2] (Where, When, Who, What) TF3 -How- TF3 will be neutral to PHY/MAC standards used in the Smart Grid TF3 will describe layers above PHY/MAC and below Layer 6 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 PHY/MAC Task Force 3: Communications Technology
