2. P2030 has divided the work between three Task Forces
P2030 SmartGrid
P2030 has divided the work between three Task Forces
TF-1 Power Engineering Technology
Sam Sciacca -- Task Force 1 Chair
TF-2 Information Technology
Bob Grow -- Task Force 2 Chair
TF-3 Communications Technology
Bob Heile, Stefano Galli – Task Force 3 Co-Chairs

3. Smart Grid Conceptual Model
Priority areas of focus:
Demand response
Wide-area situational awareness
Electric storage
Electric transportation
Advanced metering
Distribution grid management
Cyber security
Data networking
Source: NIST/EPRI Architecture Task Group 3

4. P2030 SmartGrid
TF 1 – Power Engineering Technology has further subdivided into six subgroups
Energy Sources – Alex Takahashi
Transmission – Madhav Manjrekar
Transmission Substation – Tony Johnson
Distribution – Greg Obenchain
Load Side/Customer Premises – Don Bowen
Cyber Security – Greg Bernstein
The sub-groups have been meeting via teleconference but found that the face to face session was productive for inter subgroup work and meeting with Task Forces 2 and 3

5. P2030 SmartGrid TF 1 – Power Engineering Technology
The discussion included the feasibility and practicality of re-alignment of Subgroups with NIST Conceptual Model.
Also of concern was providing TF 2 and TF 3 with knowledge of the requirements to communicate between the Power Engineering elements.
In regard to this, TF 1 developed a matrix of communications needs to be given to Task Forces 2 and 3.

8. P2030 SmartGrid TF 2 – Information Technology
has further subdivided into five subgroups
Power Engineering
Architecture
Modeling
Security
Communications
Technical writing
Task Forces subgroups meet via audio conferencing bridges between plenary meetings
Bi-weekly call with all TF2 subgroup leaders and TF leader

9. P2030 SmartGrid TF 2 – Information Technology
Major concerns include security (both cyber and physical), defining processes, need for interoperability, future expandability, and interfacing with TF 1 Power Technology on safety issues.
Dealing with legacy and proprietary systems is a major concern since in the power industry five years old is considered new and up to thirty years is considered modernized. Without major governmental funding, upgrades will be extremely slow (200 out of 10,000 sites would be considered extremely fast)
Expansion of protocols and preservation of existing protocols needs consideration because today’s SmartGrid is tomorrow’s legacy.

10. P2030 SmartGrid
TF 3 – Communications Technology has further subdivided into three subgroups
Architecture – Howard Choe
External Standards – Lee Smith
Use Cases – Bill Miller
Task Force 3 had a face to face meetings September 9 – 11 at Telecordia in Piscataway New Jersey, as well in conjunction with the plenaries in New York and Detroit
Sub-groups have been meeting weekly via teleconference.
The Task Force has agreed to meet approximately four times / year with parallel subgroup meetings

11. P2030 SmartGrid TF 3 – Communications Technology
In the Architecture Subgroup framework and development process have been presented and a scope document is being developed. Detailing efforts in a top-level architecture has been initiated for further discussion and development.
The External Standards Subgroup has identified IEEE SA posting of all PES committee standards. They are in the process of consolidating standards lists from NIST, IEEE SA and NEMA. They also need to identify relevant communications standards.
The Use Case Subgroup has identified sources of use cases from EPRI, NIST and OpenSG websites. They are trying to identify use cases from other sources and to avoid overlap. The objectives of classification are reliability, performance and trustworthyness.

12. P2030 SmartGrid
P2032 has adopted an aggressive schedule. In addition to the Subgroup meetings, Plenary meetings have been tentatively scheduled for:
May 25-28, Santa Clara, CA
Oct , Wisconsin (?)
Feb 25-28, (?)
It is targeted to have a ready to ballot draft by sometime in March 2011

15. P2030 SmartGrid
There is a strong need for the PES and the CS to work together and this is happening as exemplified by the communications matrix developed by TF-1 for use by TF-2 and TF-3. The matrix developed by TF-1 in New York categorized the communication needs of TF-1 in terms of data rate, latency and volume. These need factors change depending on which grid entities are involved and the principle direction of communication.
As long as the Task Force subgroups continue to liaise with one another and continue to meet in conjunction with Plenary meetings, cooperation between the societies should remain positive and beneficial.
