HIS – Smart Grid
Karen Bartleson,
President, IEEE Standards Association
The Smart Grid initiative is the modernization and optimization of the power grid so that it is more reliable, efficient, secure, and environmentally neutral. For the Smart Grid initiative to be successful, it requires collaboration, integration, and interoperability between an array of disciplines, including computational and communications control systems for generation, transmission, distribution, customer, operations, markets, and service provider

2. Highlight of Current Activities
Providing leadership in the development & deployment of smart grid technologies
Acting as a catalyst for change & innovation across the smart grid ecosystem
Our activities support the full life cycle of standards--from concept or incubation to market acceptance & use
We are developing a pipeline of standards related activities
Smart grid technology research & education
Market implementation programs
Pre-standards activities
Accelerated standards activities
Post- standards activities
IEEE is the only organization able to thoroughly provide the diversity of expertise, information, resources, and vision needed to realize the Smart Grid’s full promise and potential. For that reason, IEEE is uniquely qualified for its leadership role in the development and deployment of Smart Grid technologies. As it quickly advances from the theoretical to the concrete, IEEE will continue to act as a catalyst for change and innovation across the Smart Grid ecosystem.

3. Highlight of Current Activities
Smart grid equipment standards are needed to handle information data management, communications & control
Need for a flexible smart grid system – interoperability, design & operational standards will allow near-term and long-term smart grid evolution
Development of a body of interoperability smart grid standards is essential for the smart grid to operate
IEEE is collaborating with global stakeholders to develop smart grid standards that will extend across the entire grid

4. Strategic Direction
Engaging participants from around the world in pre-standardization discussions, standards development & market acceptance activities
Leveraging IEEE's global community of experts from the Power Engineering, Communications & Information Technology sectors
Collaborating with national & international organizations (IEC, SAE)
Developing & sharing research for smart grid in conferences & other venues around the world
Providing a venue where the best minds come together to innovate & work together to advance smart grid technology for the benefit of humanity

5. Challenges
The cost of transitioning to "smarter" grids from existing grids, i.e. equipment and operational costs
Differences in existing grid architectures around the world
Important to ensure an open, collaborative environment where all experts can participate

6. Next Steps / Actions
Facilitate development of standards & bringing them to market
Continue education on smart grid technologies & standards
Engage in collaboration opportunities
Ensure open innovation to support multi-faceted & integrated solutions to address modern energy delivery that is reliable, environmentally friendly, economically viable & secure
