1. IEEE PES Intelligent Grid Coordinating Committee Don Von Dollen – Chairman Erich W. Gunther – Vice Chairman Steve Pullins - Secretary

2. Agenda Introductions Review the scope Overall IEEE organizational issues Summary of the DOE smart grid workshop Summary of the EPRI/First Energy smart grid roadmap workshop Report on ZigBee smart energy profile An update on the IEC CIM Discussion by utilities on their smart grid organizational model Member poll on industry activity General Discussion

3. PES IG SC - Background The electric utility industry is experiencing the advent of an intelligent transmission and distribution grid. This promises utilities and their customers substantial advances in power reliability and enhanced services. Many technologies created and applied in other industries are now available, providing new business opportunities and enabling utilities to offer more innovative services. This evolution is accelerating, but is being applied in fragmented and isolated ways.

4. PES IG SC - Scope This subcommittee will address the technologies that apply to activities within the IEEE PES, identify opportunities for their future applications, and provide a forum for the free exchange of information. Rather than duplicate other ongoing efforts, the focus here will be to make sure that the IEEE-PES point of view is seen, heard, and utilized in implementing grid modernization. Note that Smart Grid involves more than applying communications or any one specific technology to the grid – it is a multidisciplinary, systems of systems engineering issue

5. PES IG SC - Scope 1. Develop a web based repository of summaries of standards and best practices (IEEE, IEC, IETF, etc.) that are key to grid modernization 2. Interact with other organizations or groups that are doing grid modernization research and early implementations, and get their input as to what standards may be needed in the future 3. Instantiate working groups if needed to fill gaps in standardization after careful review 4. Provide input to DOE to support grid modernization and the Energy Independence Act of 2007 [Sec 1305. (a)(2)]

6. Initial Tasks Roadmap for SC Outreach / Education – Establish liaison with DOE / NIST to support EIA 2008 – Panel session / super session / T&D in Chicago and Pittsburgh GM – Web site for collaboration and information repository – Why smart grid – making the case Prepare list/summary of – Grid groups (GMC 7 plus) – Applicable IEEE and IEC standards, groups, activities – Industry groups (e.g. UCAIug and subgroups) – IETF and other Internet technology standard groups Develop architectural templates

7. Web Site http://sharepoint.intelligrid.info/ieeepesigcc/ – Temporary until IEEE hosted site online

8. Agenda Introductions Review the scope Overall IEEE organizational issues Summary of the DOE smart grid workshop Summary of the EPRI/First Energy smart grid roadmap workshop GWAC update Report on ZigBee smart energy profile An update on the IEC CIM Discussion by utilities on their smart grid organizational model Member poll on industry activity General Discussion Next meeting date – Orlando in January 11-16

10. Next Meetings WebEx – What are the states – Ohio – NARUC – upcoming agenda GWAC Interoperability checklist T&D Show General Meeting

11. Meeting Brainstorm Notes Technical information repositories – Problem – everyone wants to create a smart grid repository Existing repositories – DOE NETL Modern Grid Initiative – GridWise Architecture Council Interoperability – IntelliGrid Architecture Use Cases – EPRI Smart Grid Roadmap web site – SCE use case library – Google map for AMI/Smart Grid – Business cases – none available yet – UtiliSec and AMISec security documents

12. SG Industry Needs Policy Standards Financing – Business cases – a new repository – Quantitative information on benefits of key applications – and by proxy, technologies – Stakeholders Utilities, regulators, consumers – UtilityAMI benefit map – in use in UK by distribution operators – useful example

13. Repository Requirements Annotation is the key Utilities, suppliers, and others should be able to submit information easily – Similar model to the old HVDC project list – Project summaries Also capture from meetings via a poll – Business cases Concern over separating fact from fiction – Screening process necessary – maybe a task force Wikipedia model

14. Other concerns Communication protocols necessary to support high point counts – 100’s of thousands moving up with Smart Grid to 10 to 100 times more – We need the requirements for various smart grid applications so they may be appropriately mapped to existing technologies if available and set the stage for developing new ones when necessary – Identify where roadblocks are – probably less a protocol issue and more an RTU/IED and infrastructure capability issue – CEATI report – communications requirements for smart grid – Could be raised in IEEE new concepts group

15. Business Case for Smart Grid Seems like a lot of interest in this topic Develop a process or methodology for developing the business case for SG – Doug Houseman volunteers to chair the economic assessment task force How do we get the word out once we have this framework

16. External Communications Strategy Who do we need to share information with outside of PES as we develop IEEE PES Panel Sessions – Could still arrange for a slot within T&D – Calgary (July) – Attend T&D Adcom – or get info to Gene Attend the meeting on meetings White papers Call for papers for Calgary paper session – anything smart grid – maybe provide some preferred subject guidance – get on TCPC Publication of work products – IntelliGrid – through IEC PAS process – Let’s do the same for others through the IEEE – Erich, Mark, Cheri UtilityAMI OpenHAN SRS GWAC constitution and interoperability guidelines CEC and GWAC checklists

17. Action Items Business case TF formation – Doug Panel session (business case) for Calgary – Steve and Doug Sponsor paper session on smart grid - Paula – Call for Calgary is out – but SG not in it – no Super Session either – we need to work on that Framework for repository – Mark and Erich Convey system information exchange and infrastructure concerns to NIST – Steve via minutes excerpt by email (John from NEMA to help) Publish existing work products – Erich, Mark, Cheri
