November 6, 2009

2. IEC TC57
Title: Power systems management and associated information exchange
Scope includes control room, enterprise integration, substations and field devices
Key TC57 standards used in the industry include TASE.2, 61850, CIM
Has a member funded users group: UCA International Users Group
Most NIST PAPs involve TC57
TC57 has a ‘Smart Grid Task Force’, with Scott Neumann and Jay Britton as co-leaders through WG19

3. Key IEC TC57 Working Groups
WG10: Substations (and field devices)
WG13: Transmission
WG14: Distribution
WG15: Security
WG16: Energy Markets
WG17: Distributed Energy Resources
WG19: Harmonization (and architecture)

6. Need a New Joint WG
Focus: Information exchanges related to consumer energy applications and service providers
TCs needed: 57, 13, 69, others?
Coordination with OASIS, ZigBee/Homeplug, NAESB, others? necessary
TC57 leadership so far is favorable to this
May address many issues of potential scope conflict

7. Joint WG Applications: Out of scope: Smart Appliances Thermostats
Load Control Devices
Sub-meters
Plugin Electric Vehicles
Distributed Energy Resources (consumer connected)
Demand Response
Energy Storage Devices (consumer connected)
Building Energy Management Systems
Building Automation
Out of scope:
Distribution connected DER
Distribution connected Energy Storage
Information exchanges that are entirely ‘contained’ within an enterprise, control center or premise

8. Joint WG Potential Projects
Standardization of the ZigBee/HomePlug ‘Smart Energy Profile’. This would define interfaces to ‘home’ or ‘premise’ area networks. These interfaces could be direct (via internet) or through AMI
Second edition of IEC (integration of metering systems) recognizing PAPs 6 and 9, SEP, etc. This would build upon current standard, ANSI C12.19, COSEM, ongoing interoperability efforts.
Extensions to the CIM for demand response (PAP 9), in collaboration with OASIS efforts
Extensions to the CIM to reflect the PAP 3 and 4 scheduling and pricing efforts, in collaboration with OASIS efforts
Definition of standard interfaces for the access of consumer energy usage information (PAP 10), in collaboration with OASIS efforts
Definition of models and standard interfaces as needed for communication between utilities, ISOs, service providers and consumers using the internet

9. Actions Needed … Agree within the US that a joint WG is needed
Initiate an ad-hoc working group (minimally within TC57) to answer the questions of scope, collaboration and specific projects for this working group
Identify potential convener candidates
Formalize a joint working group within the IEC
Next TC57 plenary is May 2010 in Sweden
Other? (most certainly)
