2. The Smart Grid Maturity Model
A major power grid transformation is underway
How can utilities
Develop effective roadmaps?
Track progress?
Understand their posture in comparison to peers?
The Smart Grid Maturity Model was developed by utilities to address these concerns
It is a management tool that provides a common language and framework for defining key elements of smart grid transformation and helping utilities develop a programmatic approach and track their progress

Licensing & certification program
for SGMM Navigation begins
Genesis - the model was developed by utilities for utilities – the genesis. Then show the steady state of SEI stewardship. Good that it was started by utilities, the SEI has added value as stewards. The next phase is put the model in the hands of expert Navigators.
Sep 2007: Idea conceived by Centerpoint Energy . APQC engaged to assist. Seven utilities from four continents provide SMEs over six months to develop, debate, pilot and validate the SGMM content
Sep 2007 – Jun 2008: GIUNC developed SGMM
Jun 2008: Opened to broad industry use
Mar 2009 – Mar 2010: SEI gathers input to update and improve SGMM
October 2010: SEI releases SGMM V product suite released
* APQC is a nonprofit member-based research organization with over 30 years of quality and process improvement research
SEI releases SGMM v1.2 product suite

8. SGMM Compass Survey WAM Contains
Work and Asset Management
SGMM Compass Survey
Contains
One question for each expected characteristic in the model and
Attribute and performance questions
Example questions:
WAM-3.2 Condition-based maintenance programs for key components are in place.
WAM-2.1 An approach to track, inventory, and maintain event histories of assets is in development.

9. SGMM Navigation: five-phase, expert-led process
Stakeholders complete SGMM Compass survey
Discussion and consensus answers lead to internal alignment on current state
Stakeholders review survey findings & set aspirational profile
Consensus on aspirational state and identification of motivations, actions, and obstacles to achieve it

10. Compass results: maturity profile example results3 3 2 2 2 2 1
SGMM maturity profile includes a maturity score for each domain

11. Compass results: peer community comparison example results
Orange bars are peer community ranges
Green squares are utility ratings (example results)
Orange diamonds are peer community averages
Community data as of September Data will be updated when migration to SGMM database is complete.

12. Navigation results: consensus aspirations example results

NOTE: There is no “correct” target profile implied in the model; the optimal profile will vary by utility.
