1. 1 Accelerating Standards for the Smart Grid David Wollman National Institute of Standards and Technology david.wollman@nist.gov 301-975-2433 http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/ May 27, 2010

2. Key elements for success to accelerate standards National Smart Grid policy framework  2007 Energy Independence and Security Act, Title VIII defined agency roles Visible and committed leadership from the top  President Obama, Secretary of Energy Chu, Secretary of Commerce Locke, … Planning and engagement of the broad Smart Grid community  NIST Three Phase Plan  NIST Framework and Roadmap  Smart Grid Interoperability Panel Strong active coordination  NIST leadership, honest broker/convener  Federal and State Agencies/Commissions  Standards Developing Organizations  International Coordination Technical driving forces within Standards Organizations  Motivated technical experts with sufficient dedicated time and connections

3. National Institute of Standards and Technology Role: Coordination of Interoperability Standards in United States Department of Energy (DOE) lead agency for U.S. Government Smart Grid effort  $3.4 billion of ARRA-funded Smart Grid Investment Grants; R&D portfolio  Smart Grid Task Force – DOE, NIST, FERC, FCC, EPA, ITA, DHS, … NIST coordinates and accelerates development of standards by private sector SDOs Federal Energy Regulatory Commission initiates rulemaking when consensus State Public Utilities Commissions (California, Texas, Ohio, …) International Global Consortia Regional/National … and more

4. NIST Three Phase Plan for Smart Grid Interoperability NIST role PHASE 1 Identify an initial set of existing consensus standards and develop a roadmap to fill gaps 2009 2010 PHASE 2 Establish Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) public-private forum with governance for ongoing efforts SGIP & Governing Board Connectivity Week May 2010 Smart Grid Interoperability Panel established Nov 2009 PHASE 3 Conformity Framework (includes Testing and Certification) NIST Interoperability Framework 1.0 Released Jan 2010 Summer 2009 workshops Draft Framework Sept 2009 George Arnold, NIST - National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability SGIP/GB meetings today

5. NIST Framework and Roadmap, Release 1.0 http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/ Conceptual Model Revised version January 2010  Public comments reviewed and addressed Smart Grid Vision / Model 75 key standards identified  IEC, IEEE, … 16 Priority Action Plans to fill gaps (one completed) Includes cyber security strategy  Companion document NISTIR 7628

6. Priority Action Plans address standards gaps and issues Priority Action Plans Smart meter upgradeability standard (PAP 00, completed by NEMA in 2009) Standard meter data profiles (PAP 05) Develop common specification for price and product definition (PAP 03) Develop common scheduling communication for energy transactions (PAP 04) Standard demand response signals (PAP 09) Customer energy use information (PAP10) Energy storage interconnection guidelines (PAP 07) Interoperability standards to support plug-in electric vehicles (PAP 11) Wind Interconnection Standards (PAP 16) Priority Action Plans Guidelines for use of IP protocol suite in the Smart Grid (PAP 01) Guidelines for the use of wireless communications (PAP 02) Harmonize power line carrier standards for appliance communications in home (PAP15) Develop common information model (CIM) for distribution grid management (PAP 08) DNP3 Mapping to IEC 61850 Objects (PAP12) Transmission and distribution power systems model mapping (PAP 14) Harmonization of IEEE C37.118 with IEC 61850 and Precision Time Synchronization (PAP 13)

7. Smart Grid Interoperability Panel and Governing Board Public-private partnership, started in Nov. 2009 Over 570 organizations, over 1500 representatives Supports NIST in coordinating standards Governing Board elected SGIP Chair elected Committees established, SGIP meetings ongoing Electronic collaboration tools, newsletters / communications Project management office Open, transparent process International participation welcome http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/ (Over 570; over 1500 persons participating including from international organizations)

8. International Smart Grid Coordination Increasing number of bilateral discussions and interactions with China, Japan, Korea, Australia, India, Brazil, France, Germany, … US-EU Energy Council Close coordination with International Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs) through NIST process  Example: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) work coordinated through IEC-Strategic Group 3 NIST Liaison with IEC, joint meeting Nov 2009 & May 2010  Open, transparent process with international participation
