4. Smart Grid Implementation Workshop
Conducted June 19-20, 2008, in DC, with broad stakeholder engagement to define Smart Grid functionalities and develop key metrics:
Workshop limited to 150 attendees
Seven principal functionalities reaffirmed/sharpened
Metrics for each functionality were developed
Majority of attendees interested in a follow-on Smart Grid Work Shop to define R&D paths
Work Shop report at:

5. Defining Smart Grid
Modernizing the electricity delivery infrastructure using advanced digital/information technologies to deliver key defining functions
Enables Informed Participation by Customers
Accommodate All Generation and Storage Options
Enable New Products, Services, and Markets
Provide Power Quality for the Digital Economy
Optimize Asset Utilization and Operate Efficiently
Addresses Disturbances through Automated Prevention, Containment, and Restoration

Discussion
The objective of this slide is to help the audience understand:
The concept work that has been done so far (development of values, characteristics, and key technology areas) – blue boxes
The relationship among them (i.e. when achieved the characteristics will yield the desired values of the Smart Grid AND to achieve the characteristics, technologies must be deployed in specific key technology areas.
The metric work that has been done so far (primarily “value metrics” linked to the values of a Smart Grid) – blue box
The metric area we want to focus on as part of this first workshop (primarily “results metrics”) – green box
The metric area we will need to focus on in the future (metrics that link to the RD&D of technologies) – yellow box

provide guidance in refining the roadmap, leading work within standards groups on implementing needed standards development and harmonization
Four DEWGs initially:
Building to Grid (B2G)
Industrial to Grid (I2G)
Home to Grid (H2G)
Transmission and Distribution (T&D)
