SGTCC END TO END TESTING INITIATIVE APEC-ISGAN Smart Grid Test Bed Network Workshop Washington, DC -- January 24, 2012 Rik Drummond, Dean Prochaska, Rudi Schubert

US Government Roles in Smart Grid 2 Federal State Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Smart Grid Task Force / National Science & Technology Council Smart Grid Subcommittee Other Federal Agencies Other Federal Agencies Office of Science & Technology Policy; National Economic Council; & Council on Environmental Quality FERC – NARUC Smart Response Collaborative Public Utility Commissions

Smart Grid – A U.S. National Policy The 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) lays out a national policy for the Smart Grid in the U.S. –The Act assigned NIST the primary responsibility to coordinate development of standards for the Smart Grid –NIST is also supporting future FERC and State PUC rulemaking to adopt Smart Grid standards The White House National Science and Technology Council has established a Smart Grid Subcommittee –The Subcommittee produced a report that lays out the Administration’s policy on Smart Grid Key Federal policy recommendations: –Enable cost-effective smart grid investments –Unlock innovation –Empower and inform consumers –Secure the grid 3

4 NIST Three Phase Plan 4 PHASE 1 Identify an initial set of existing consensus standards and develop a roadmap to fill gaps PHASE 3 Testing and Certification Framework PHASE 2 Establish public/private Interoperability Panel to provide ongoing recommendations for new/revised standards 2011

NIST Smart Grid Framework and Roadmap 1.0 Published January 2010 –Extensive public input and review –Completed in Less than 1 year Smart Grid Vision & Reference Model Identified 75 existing standards 16 Priority Action Plan Projects are filling key gaps Companion Cyber Security Strategy Release 2.0 is Under Development

Smart Grid Interoperability Panel Public-private partnership created in Nov member organizations Open, public process with international participation Coordinates standards developed by Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) –Identifies Requirements –Prioritizes standards development programs –Works with over 20 SDOs including IEC, ISO, ITU, IEEE, … Web-based participation (via link from nist.gov/smartgrid) 6

SGTCC O VERVIEW The Smart Grid Testing & Certification Committee (SGTCC) is a standing committee of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) SGTCC has developed a framework to enable industry testing and certification programs for Smart Grid interoperability SGTCC members are a diverse, elected group including manufacturers, end users and test labs

SGTCC S TRUCTURE AND MAJOR ACTIVITIES Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM) Version 2 released in January 2012 IPRM Implementation Supporting Interoperability Testing & Certification Authority (ITCA) first adopters to integrate IPRM Collaborating with industry accreditation organizations to support independent assessments of ITCA programs End to End Testing Initiative Priority Activity for 2012 Developing use-case based testing methodologies to assure testing consistency, quality and broad acceptance of results Advocacy for Smart Grid Interop Testing Communications outreach to stakeholders

SGTCC E ND TO E ND T EST A CTIVITIES Work of the SGTCC End to End (E2E) Testing working group will be a priority for 2012 Focused on a set of common use-cases that are a key part of interoperability An End to End Testing Document Template is complete Provides consistent approach to test requirements and processes across multiple technology domains Piloting application of the template relative to selected use-cases Collecting contributed utility use-case test to build test repository Long term goal – consensus test programs yielding “tested once, accepted everywhere” E2E group planning a focused F2F meeting in February to accelerate these efforts

E ND - TO -E ND I NTEROPERABILITY Focus on a set of common use-cases that are a key part of interoperability: Installation / Configuration End Device installation (Meter, HAN, etc.) End Device configuration and registration Control / Command Connect and disconnect (smart meter) Demand Response Direct Load Control Events Notification, text messages Pricing signals Events and alarms (i.e Outage Events) Measurement / Monitoring Batch meter reading (one way) On-demand meter reading (two way) Energy Usage HAN Installation

E ND TO E ND W ORKING G ROUP – A VAILABLE I NFORMATION End to End Working Group documents are publically available (both drafts and finals) via SGIP Twiki page: sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SGTCCEndtoEndTest sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SGTCCEndtoEndTest The E2E test template is intended to provide a consistent format for the development of detailed test approaches Use case based Defined requirements – i.e. what will the test accomplish? Definition of test steps, equipment, metrics, reporting expectations A Home Area Network device test plan was developed as a pilot of the template Available via the web link above

SGTCC AND SG T EST B ED N ETWORK R ELATIONSHIP SGTCC view that the proposed test bed network may complement its mission providing: Test Case and Procedure development associated with use cases and priority standards Upfront research/development that leads to test program creation where gaps currently exist Identification of issues/gaps needing to be addressed by testing A neutral facility to assess testing issues in an unbiased forum SGTCC welcomes test bed network participants to collaborate within our working groups!
