3. Interoperability
“The capability of two or more networks, systems, devices, applications, or components to exchange information between them and to use the information so exchanged”
- Department of Energy’s GridWise® Architecture Council

4. Interoperability - Under the Hood
For Success besides Standards, you need Strategy, Business Operating Model, Technology & Architecture

8. Interoperability Standards
IEC 61968/61970 & CIM: These families of standards define information exchanged among control center systems using common information models. They define application-level energy management system interfaces and messaging for distribution grid management in the utility space.
IEC 61850: This standard defines communications within transmission and distribution. substations for automation and protection. It is being extended to cover communications beyond the substation to integration of distributed resources and between substations.
IEEE C37.118: This standard defines phasor measurement unit (PMU) performance specifications and communications.
MultiSpeak: App software integration within the utility operations domain; a candidate for use in an Enterprise Service Bus.

Standards

9. Interoperability Standards (cont…)
openADR: The specification defines messages exchanged between utilities and commercial/industrial customers for price-responsive and direct load control.
eMIX: Exchange of price, characteristics, time, and related information for markets, including market makers, market participants, quote streams, premises automation, and devices
Cyber Security:
Security Profile for Advanced Metering Infrastructure, v 1.0, Advanced Security Acceleration Project – Smart Grid, December 10, 2009 : This document provides guidance and security controls to organizations developing or implementing AMI solutions. This includes the meter data management system (MDMS) up to and including the HAN interface of the smart meter.
NERC CIP : Physical and cyber security standards for the bulk power system.

13. Recipe for Interoperability Success
Ingredients:
Start with a pot full of Strategy & Roadmap
Add 1 to 2 lbs of Standards depending upon appetite
Add 1 Tsp of Business Operating Model
Add 2 Tsp of Technology
Sprinkle gently with Enterprise Architecture
Mix vigorously with a Holistic Approach
Bake it Collaboratively
Let it Simmer
Serve piecemeal to your organization and partners
Have one Holistic Vision & Strategy otherwise too many cooks will spoil the broth
