Tough Questions
What are the consequences of not responding to the request?
How much effort, from whom, how quickly needs to be contributed to meet the request?
Could the June deadline for task completion be extended?
How will the data provided to NIST be used by other entities in influencing deployment decisions?
“Entities” range from FERC to consumer appliances
Can simulation models be useful enough without selecting and constructing channel models?
Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

Working Assumptions
The ongoing interchange of information between power engineering and communications industry is essential.
Computer modeling communications against PE supplied uses cases is far more useful than hand waving.
Although not fully understood or quantified, there will be business incentives to being recognized as a qualified Smart Grid technology.
Although not fully understood, industry would prefer to be “actively influencing” the technology selection process rather than have it dictated to them.

6. Status Checklist Is there a public simulator available to run?
March 2010
Status Checklist
Is there a public simulator available to run?
–Yes, NS2
– Yes, NIST Matlab
Has the simulator been recently executed to demonstrate it can produce useful results?
Yes, NIST Matlab for attendees.
Have any of the OpenSG uses cases been modeled by industry? No
Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

7. March 2010
Status Checklist
Has anyone volunteered to run the model on the use cases and report results?
In time for the March 31 NIST status meeting?
In time for May 802 Interim meeting?
In time for June NIST deadline?
Has any 802 participant validated the model results against other simulators or lab test? No
Are there any known corrections or extensions to the models needed to model uses cases?
model is missing mesh
model has been run using only 1 Mbps, BPSK in 2.4 GHz
Automatic rate scaling
Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

8. March 2010
Status Checklist
Is there a better way to promote uptake of model execution?
through advertising/cooperation with universities?
through outreach/cooperation with support organizations such as Zigbee, Wi-Fi, WiMAX
Develop one page description/advertising of PAP#2 modeling task
Dorothy & Mark will help Bruce do this
Are there any known clarifications to the uses cases required to provide useful results?
Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

Schedule plan so far has been Wednesdays at 2pm EST
Future call plans will be to continue this pattern – 1 per week – to July
Next call March 24
Call topic suggestions
Review of one page task promotion
Detailed walk thru of first three use cases to determine if we need further clarification from Open SG (on March 31)
Reports on model results (from anyone)
Or note any additional commitments to run models
