ETSI Board Member

2. Smart Grids ETSI Strategic Directions
Building on the large ICT expertise of ETSI members
Smart Grids Standards Gap Analysis
From M2M to Smart Metering to Smart Grids
Bringing Smart Grids requirements to other standards fields
Wireless Networks, Security, …
Collaboration with all stakeholders in the SG ecosystem
European Standardization System (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI)
Regulators, in particular within EU
Standards Developing Organizations (ITU-T, NIST, …) and fora
Users
Research

3. EU Policy Drivers Sustainability: 20-20-20 targets Security of supply
Reduction of CO2 emissions
Increased generation based on renewable sources and
Need to increase grid and consumption efficiency - decrease losses
Security of supply
Increase grid robustness and resilience
Integration of different generators (centralised and distributed)
Competitiveness and Internal Market development
Better management of supply and demand
New market opportunities and increased efficiency of the market
Empowerment of consumers
All these challenges call for the restructuring of the grids, e.g. the structure of generation, market and the use of electricity 3

4. European Standards Organizations
European Committee for Standardization 31 Members (NSB/NC of 27 EU Members + 3 EFTA countries + 1 EU applicant)
European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization 31 Members (NSB/NC of 27 EU Members +3 EFTA countries + 1 EU applicant)
European Telecommunications Standards Institute 700 ETSI member organizations from 60 countries worldwide
“Recognized” by the European Union under Directive 98/34

5. EU Smart Grid related Mandates
EU Mandates
EU asks the 3 ESOs to work on a specific set of standards
Those interested accept and (co-)develop the program and output
Smart Metering Mandate (M/441)
Issued in March 2009 and accepted by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
An ESOs Smart Metering Co-ordination Group (SM-CG) is in place
Charging of Electrical Vehicle Mandate (M/468)
Issued End of June 2010 and accepted by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
Smart Grid Mandate (M/490)
Issued March 2nd 2011 and accepted by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI
Work officially started on June 1st, 2011; first expected results End 2012 5

6. EU Mandate M/490 Content Objective Scope
To develop or update a set of consistent standards within a common European framework integrating a variety of digital computing and communication technologies and electrical architectures, and associated processes and services,
that will achieve interoperability and will enable or facilitate the implementation in Europe of the different high level Smart Grid services and functionalities as defined by the Smart Grid Task Force
that will be flexible enough to accommodate future developments.
Scope
Building, Industry, Appliances and Home Automation are out of the scope of this mandate; however, their interfaces with the Smart Grid and related services have to be treated under this mandate.
Interconnection to other mandated work
This mandated work will be co-ordinated with the outcomes of existing mandates M/441 and M/468 to ensure a coherent standardization framework (a bi-directional process).

7. EU Mandate M/490 Execution
Expected first delivery
Technical reference architecture
will be provided 9 months upon acceptance of the mandate.
First set of standards by 2012
Considering the very wide scope of requests to be answered, CEN, CENELEC, ETSI will first produce a development prioritisation of all required standards within 2 months upon acceptance of the mandate.
Further a comprehensive work plan will be proposed to the Smart Grids Reference Group of the Smart Grid Task Force within 6 months upon acceptance of the mandate, for validation.
Sustainable standardization processes
A first set of Use Case management will be operational 9 months upon acceptance of the mandate. Hosting and processes will be in place.
Further iterations are planned

9. Highlight of Current Activities
EU Smart Grid mandate M/490
accepted in March 2011
coordinated in TC M2M
Analysis of impact of SG on M2M Architecture
linkage with M/468 "charging of Electric Vehicles"
linkage with M/462 "efficient energy use in fixed and mobile information and communication networks"
Smart Grids Coordination Group (SG-CG)
Active participation in all Work Groups
Leading the Reference Architecture WG

10. Challenges
Definition of standardization frameworks that support evolution and maturation of Smart Grids applications during the decade long effort ahead.
Definition of "both ways" requirements, common visions and approaches between Power and ICT industries.
Interoperability of power and communication networks
Solutions to transversal issues: security, privacy, …
Harmonization of regional requirements into global standards wherever possible.
All advocating for strong international collaboration between standards organizations across power and ICT industries
