5. Tuesday: SG TG Tasks
Discussion on / Tutorial session on s amendment
7:30pm Regency V
Discussion on 24.1 liaisons and relevant industry activity
SGIP OpenFMB (is there any opportunity – maybe not)
SGCG in Europe (ETSI group parallel to SGIP)
Useful Output: Identify the use cases that the standards serve, and provide them to the industry.
That can then define who is an appropriate liaison
Case in point – deterministic Ethernet – how does it apply to utility industry?
IEC has some requirements for realtime (in TC57) and also 61850
Need to educate and inform liaisons to gather needs and requirements with respect to IEEE 802 projects. Identify the tools we have available, and present the available toolbox.
P Liaison Report
F2F WG meeting in Santa Clara next month – will invite utilities as observers, and invite CPUC. Sponsor Ballot upcoming. 3rd week in February (Tuesday/ or Wednesday evening TBD)
