2. Introduction to the OSGP Alliance
Global, non-profit industry/user association
Membership open to any company or individual
Membership represents entire smart grid value chain
Utilities, solution providers, enterprise software vendors, device and meter manufacturers
Working together to realize the next generation of the smart grid by standardization
Accepted a.o. by the European Commission as Stakeholder for smart grid, smart metering

3. OSGP: supported by :
CIAC

4. OSGP - A Modern Standard For A Modern Grid
Smart Grid is More Than Just Smart Meters
Designed From Day 1 For a Networked World
Focus On Efficiency, Reliability, Scalability, Expandability

5. Now: Electricity Is Essential To All We Do
Reliable supply is an economic and national security concern
Concerns over C02
Move to renewable, intermittent sources of supply
Distributed generation
Electrical Vehicles
Service quality, cash collection, non-technical losses, Grid topology insight, loadcontrol LV, asset management
► Meeting these demands requires a smarter grid & change in behavior Need to combine information, manage and control,
while minimizing datatraffic, communication & storage.
