Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 Title XIII, Section 1305. Smart Grid Interoperability Framework

The Framework:Protocols and standards that shall further align policy, business, &

technology solutions• Enable connection of all electric resources, including demand-side

resources, into an efficient, reliable grid• Seek input from:

– FERC, DoE OE & Smart Grid Task Force, Smart Grid Advisory Committee, and other relevant Federal agencies

– GWAC, IEEE, NEMA

NIST Roles in Smart Grid

NIST “… shall have 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 …”

Scope of framework:–Flexible, uniform, technology-neutral–Needs to accommodate traditional generation and transmission • distributed generation, renewables, energy storage, energy efficiency• enabling devices and systems• flexibility to accommodate

– regional and organizational differences– new technologies

–Should include voluntary standards for electric appliances and equipment for homes and businesses that

• Enable emergency response or demand response for– load reduction– adjustment to load to provide ancillary services– response to crisis or load shedding to preserve grid reliability

NIST work plan summary

1. (June - Sept 08) Review the current state of Smart Grid related standards and interoperability and present this in an overview Landscape Map tied to a detailed standards knowledge base. This will become a platform for developing consensus on where interoperability gaps exist and priorities for addressing those gaps.

2. (Sept 23-25) Present this information at GridWeek and invite participation in a NIST Interoperability Standards Workshop at GridInterop (Nov 11) that will be focused on evaluating a roadmap for addressing standards gaps and path toward interoperability.

3. NIST is also working to develop domain expert working groups to help with Gridweek and the workshop as well as to guide and sustain action on standards development and harmonization activities.
