8. Courtesy HDR Architecture, Inc./Steve Hall © Hedrich Blessing G. Wheeler The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is where Nobel Prize-winning science meets real- world engineering. With an extremely broad research portfolio, world-class facilities, national networks, and an international reach, NIST works to support industry innovation – our central mission. About NIST 8

9. Why Standards? We have long recognized the value of measurements and standards. From the very first civilizations, we’ve adopted many systems of measurement: –Length (cubits, ells, inches, centimeters) –Distance (leagues, fathoms, miles, kilometers, light years) –Weight (grams, stones, pounds, tons) –Calendars (Julian, Mayan, Chinese, Jewish) With each system of measurement, it became useful to develop standards. 9

10. What are Standards? Standards are written agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria that may contain rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics. Standards ensure that materials, products, personnel qualifications, processes, and services are: –adequate for their purpose; –compatible and/or interchangeable, if necessary; –safe for individuals and the public; –safe and friendly for the environment; and/or –able to improve economic performance. 10

11. Electric Vehicles Require Many Standards 11 1547 (Distributed energy interconnection) Smart Energy 2.0 J2293 (Communication) J1772 (Connector) 61850 and 61970/61968 Information models Demand response & price signaling C12 (Meter) National Electric Code (Enclosures) National Electric Safety Code (Battery) 11

12. What Is Interoperability? The capability of different systems and devices to communicate and work effectively together There are degrees of interoperability InterchangeablePlug and playCompatibleHarmonized 12

13. Benefits of Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Make it easy for consumers to use smart devices regardless of location & provider Protect privacy while enabling consumers to securely access information on their own energy consumption Prevent premature obsolescence, facilitate future upgrades, & ensure systems can be scaled up for larger deployments Provide for backward compatibility, integrating new investments with existing equipment Expand product markets & promote vendor competition: reducing costs, accelerating innovation, & increasing choice Ensure the security & enhance the reliability of the power grid 13

14. What is Conformity Assessment? Conformity assessment is a way to very that standards are implemented correctly Conformity assessment can be conducted by: –a first party, which is generally the supplier or manufacturer –a second party, which is generally the purchaser or user of the product –a third party, which is an independent entity that is generally distinct from the first or second party and has no interest in transactions between the two parties –the government, which has a unique role in conformity assessment activities related to regulatory requirements 14

15. The Need For Conformance Testing Must work end to end Provide Interoperability in a multi vendor environment Plug and play required for specific products Prime focus on inter-domain operations Some companies asking for intra-domain testing Standards contain many options Standards may contain optional ways to support a feature Testing helps correct bugs Feedback to Standards Development Organizations 15

16. The Energy Independence and Security Act gives NIST “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…” Congress directed that the framework be “flexible, uniform, and technology neutral” Use of these standards is a criteria for federal Smart Grid Investment Grants Input to federal and state regulators Standards – Key Aspect of US Policy 16

17. NIST Role in Smart Grid (“National Priority”) NIST – nonregulatory agency Standards coordination Measurement science research The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 gave NIST “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes … standards … to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…” 17

42. EIS Alliance Through Information Managing Energy SGCC Peer Connect: Smart Grid Standards & Why Should You Care? Finding Harmony in Change December 12, 2013 Chris Kotting Executive Director, EIS Alliance

43. What is the EISA? ● Works to develop standards for customer-owned energy management systems. ● Educates policymakers and stakeholders on energy management systems and smart grid. ● Works with various SDOs and other groups to accelerate the development of relevant Standards Members and Project Participants:

44. Standards: It's not that we don't have enough... Courtesy of http://xkcd.com/927

45. ...too much of a good thing?

46. CEMS Use Cases ● Focused on energy management and operations on the Customer side of the meter. ● Tried to answer two questions: ● What does the Facility need to know from the Grid? (Green Button) ● What does the Facility need to know from its own equipment? (ASHRAE SPC-201)

47. Why these standards matter... “Smart Grid is a misnomer. The Grid is already intelligent. It has to be because loads are so unbelievably stupid.” That used to be true... Loads are increasingly intelligent. More and more customer-side equipment contains processors, software and operating systems that manage operation, timing, duty cycle, and power consumption. Ending the “autistic grid”

48. Buildings and the Grid - Then Classic Utility / Regulatory Model:  Generation is centralized, and follows Load.  Load is a strict consumer of energy.  “Reliability” comes through central control.  Pricing assumes demand inelasticity.  Limited effects on load through demand riders or ratchets.

49. The Buildings and Grid of Tomorrow The Coming Paradigm:  Generation is decentralized.  Facilities are active participants in grid.  Load can follow Generation.  “Reliability” is replaced by “Resiliency”.  Pricing assumes demand elasticity

50. The electrical system operates on many standards, and the existing system of standards was developed incrementally, over an extended period, as one system or device type came to dominate the market. During that period, there were many “VHS vs. Betamax” or “Blu-Ray vs. DVD-HD” battles, during which a lot of money was spent on technologies that didn't win out in the marketplace. From Yesterday...

51. The transition to the “Grid of the Future” will require both extension and modification of existing standards, and the development of new ones. To avoid the “VHS vs. Betamax” or “Blu-Ray vs. DVD- HD” battles (and the associated costs) market participants need to weigh in on standards development....to Tomorrow

52. Commercial and Industrial customers matter... Commercial and Industrial customers provide a great deal of load in one spot. That load has for many years had the intelligence and incentive to participate in various types of Demand Response. The intelligence is increasing, particularly in the Commercial sector. LEED doesn't lead anymore.

53. Why Residential matters... ● Industrial and Commercial customers have reasons to limit rapid response to grid conditions: ● Production Needs ● Contract Requirements ● Residential customers represent an opportunity to respond quickly and incrementally, and in the aggregate have significant impact
