2. Edits Add ITU, specifically ITU-Smart Add ETSI
2018/7/29
Edits
Add ITU, specifically ITU-Smart
Add ETSI
Respond to RFIs (e.g., UK and Australia)
Coordination with 802 Architecture
Focus on lower layers of Smart Grid
NIST may not be a friend of 802.

3. 2018/7/29
802 Smart Grid Activity
Will be formed as Executive Committee Study Group
Depending on how PAR is developed:
Option 1: Form Technical Advisory Group (TAG)
Option 2: Form Working Group (WG)

4. 2018/7/29
Objectives
Create “Guidelines” for use of 802 standards for Smart Grid applications
Exact type of document to be determined by Study Group
In the context of other Smart Grid Standardization organizations and activities
NIST, IEC, IEEE PES, ITU, ETSI, ITU- Smart, etc
evaluate any “gaps” that could be appropriate work items for IEEE 802

5. Objectives (continued)
2018/7/29
Objectives (continued)
Liaison between IEEE 802 and other groups involved in Smart Grid communications and standards (NIST, OpenSG, IEEE PES, ITU- Smart, etc)
Serve as a resource and coordination point for Smart Grid specific spectrum issues (IEEE , UTC, etc)
Develop “PR” presentation highlighting IEEE 802 activities related to Smart Grid for use at Smart Grid events and conferences

6. Additional notes ITU-R question only?
2018/7/29
Additional notes
ITU-R question only?
Already being used (68%) are based on 802 derived technologies
Should make sure that we find out about the current deployments to show that we are there.
IEEE wide activity at SA level
Focus within 802, bring in information from others
Improve coordination within IEEE

Straw polls
Who would support the formation of an Executive Committee Smart Grid Study Group:
Yes: 28
No: 0
Would you support the first meeting of the ECSG to be at the May 2012 Wireless Interim meeting in Atlanta.
May 14-18, Atlanta (Wireless Interim): 25
July 15-20, San Diego (802 Plenary): 2

8. Next steps Ask EC on Friday closing plenary to become and ECSG.
2018/7/29
Next steps
Ask EC on Friday closing plenary to become and ECSG.
Add schedule to proposal.
First meeting in May, next in July.
Encourage parallel meetings for groups not in the Wireless

9. Next steps Continue with calls
2018/7/29
Next steps
Continue with calls
Continue to monitor and deliver the following objectives
Contributions to NIST PAP2 (simulation parameters and review of text content for wireless guideline 2)
Refer to for list.
