This guide provides a knowledge base addressing terminology, characteristics, functional performance and evaluation criteria, and the application of engineering principles for smart grid interoperability of the electric power system with end use applications and loads. The guide discusses alternate approaches to good practices for the smart grid. Purpose: This standard provides guidelines in understanding and defining smart grid interoperability of the electric power system with end-use applications and loads. Integration of energy technology and information and communications technology is necessary to achieve seamless operation for electric generation, delivery, and end-use benefits to permit two way power flow with communication and control. Interconnection and intra-facing frameworks and strategies with design definitions are addressed in this standard, providing guidance in expanding the current knowledge base. This expanded knowledge base is needed as a key element in grid architectural designs and operation to promote a more reliable and flexible electric power system.

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 11 Question wording - submitted Jan 28 Secretariat, National Smart Energy Metering Program, Within the IEEE Standards Association is a group of projects referred to as 802. The IEEE 802® LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops LAN and metropolitan area network (MAN) standards. The most widely used standards are for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN, Wireless RAN, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual working group provides the focus for each area. Upon reviewing your HAN RFI we decided we need to get an answer to a question before further completing responses. Some portions of the HAN RFI can be read as a request for standards information while others appear to be a system procurement specification. The technology contained in a complete Smart Metering HAN system cannot be provided by any single SDO and would need to be provided by a wide variety of Standards Organizations. Standards created by IEEE such as those in the 802 family (e.g. 802.3, 802.11, 802.15, 802.16) contain specifications for only ISO layers 1 and 2. Layers 3 and 4 for protocols such as TCP/IP are provided by IETF. Several of the questions refer to transfer of smart metering protocol messages at layers 5-7 that would be contained in a higher level protocol specification developed by yet another organization outside IEEE 802 such as IEC 61850 or ZigBee and their Smart Energy Profile 2.0 (SEP 2.0). Additionally, testing and certification is typically provided by a trade organization such as ZigBee, Bluetooth SIG, WiMAX, and the Wi-Fi Alliance. We propose to directly answer those questions that refer to technology under our control and explain how technology supplied by other SDO and trade sources would complete the response. Do you have any comments on our approach?

14. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 14 Prior Events In January 2010, NIST issued a Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, containing a list of standards identified as applicable to the smart grid. On October 6, 2010, NIST notified the Commission by letter that it had selected five families of standards as ready for consideration by regulators and posted summaries of those families of standards on its website. In response to these subjects, panelists are encouraged to discuss topics that include, but are not limited to, the following: –Time and resources devoted to the review of standards; –Contribution of standards to increasing interoperability; –The standards’ attention to cyber security concepts such as authentication, encryption, integrity, and availability; –Consideration of legacy system integration issues; –The U.S. power industry’s familiarity with the identified standards –Lessons learned from industries within and outside the power http://www.ferc.gov/eventcalendar/Files/20110114074853-1-31-11-agenda.pdf

The NIST standards are the first of what may be several hundred more to be identified for FERC consideration in the coming years. NIST handed off the first standards to FERC under Section 1305 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), which requires FERC to adopt in a formal rulemaking proceeding standards and protocols necessary to ensure smart grid functionality and interoperability in interstate transmission of electric power, and regional and wholesale electricity markets. FERC has created a docket, RM11-2-000, for this rulemaking, and in the near future will issue a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) that will include opportunity for public comment.

19. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 19 NIST Proposal - Overview According to NIST, the suites of smart grid standards will: Provide a Common Information Model necessary for exchanges of data between devices and networks, primarily in the transmission (IEC 61970) and distribution (IEC 61968) domains (the IEC numbers reference two related groups of standards); Facilitate substation automation, communication and interoperability through a common data format (IEC 61850); Facilitate exchanges of information between control centers (IEC 60870-6); and Address the cyber security of the communication protocols defined by the preceding IEC standards (IEC 62351). EISA does not authorize FERC to require compliance with the final standards; however, FERC may consider requiring compliance with the standards under its Federal Power Act authorities. The summaries of the smart grid standards are available on FERC’s eLibrary under Docket No. RM11-2-000. There will be an opportunity for public comment on the standards only after FERC issues the NOPR in this case.

30. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 30 Jan 27 Vote Guidance PAP 2 Members, I want to thank all of you who voted on the NIST special Publication, Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, Version 1.0. If you still plan on casting a vote, please do so on the PAP2 mailing list by tomorrow January 28, 2011, 11:59PM EST. As the title of the document should make clear, this document is about methodologies and how to evaluate wireless communications. It is intended to be technology agnostic. Therefore it does NOT constitute an endorsement by NIST or PAP 2 for any specific wireless technology that can be used by Smart Grid applications, nor should it be used for such purposes. This document contains a few examples on how to go about evaluating wireless communications. Any mention or reference to specific technologies is for demonstration purposes only and is not intended to be an official endorsement for the examples provided. I also want to bring to everyone's attention that the reference in the guidelines document for the wireless characterization matrix is there to capture the work accomplished by PAP 2 up to a certain point. This guidelines document does not include the wireless characterization matrix. The matrix will be updated and completed during the course of generating subsequent versions of PAP 2 deliverables. I expect work to begin on this immediately and no later than March 2011. Please note that with your collective support this document represents a deliverable for what PAP 2 has done up to this point. It is a stake in the ground before we move on to the next phase. Once again, Thank you for your continued interest and support for PAP 2 activities. -Nada

38. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 38 Comments for the OpenSG/PAP#2 meeting March 10, 2011 1.The PAP#2 community needs to agree whether the completion of the Version 2 report will be (primarily) schedule driven or accomplishment driven. Based upon opinions voiced about Version 1 it appears that an accomplishment driven approach is preferred. It certainly appears that it would be ideal to complete Version 2 around July 2011. Further discussion will be needed to determine exactly what the deliverables would be (see comment #2) and to generate a reasonable estimate of the time required to complete them. Is there general consensus or developing such a results oriented project plan?

39. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 39 Comments for the NIST PAP#2 meeting March 10, 2011 2. The OpenSG venue has been great for collecting utility requirements and data transaction information but there has not been an equal or adequate degree of cooperation and preparation on the wireless technology side. I propose that the wireless SDOs agree to organize a series of meetings and teleconferences to review the expected deliverables including, of course, revisions to the matrix rows, their more formal definitions, revision to the matrix columns, and selection of a small set of very well defined and relevant operating points and applications scenarios for throughput, capacity and range modeling. These meetings would be open to all participants but organized to drive completion of the wireless SDO deliverables. Group meetings may coincide with other industry events such as OpenSG meetings but would not be bound to only those dates and venues. Is there general consensus among the 802 wireless technologists to proceeding this way?

40. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 40 Comments for NIST PAP#2 3. Ron Cunningham has prepared a very comprehensive document describing his expectations of the content of Version 2. Unfortunately, I don’t believe that the PAP2 community can deliver everything requested in a reasonable period of time. I suggest that PAP2 stakeholders use Ron’s document as a starting point for a deliverable outline but negotiate agreement on the content of the the final result and completion target date. I expect the result will be somewhat less complete than Ron’s initial proposal but still far more “useful” than Version 1. It is important that mutual agreement be reached to insure both a useful deliverable and a reasonable completion date is established before serious work begins. Comments?

41. doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/0382r1 Submission March 2011 Bruce Kraemer, MarvellSlide 41 Comments for the OpenSG/PAP#2 meeting March 10, 2011 4. NIST has previously been the primary editor of the PAP#2 document During the development of the Version 1 report several industry suggestions were not incorporated and editing latency or capacity seemed to be the cause. Is NIST prepared to provide the staff resources to continue with this service in generating Version 2? Would it be appropriate for one or more technical editors to take over or assist in the generation of Version 2? This would provide more capacity for rapid incorporation of material, after approval for inclusion. Comments?

This communication capacity can and often will, be enabled by various technologies; however they all present different challenges and limitations. One solution uses communication via power lines. This solution requires only the addition of communication/sensing devices overlaid on the existing electric distribution infrastructure. Testing has shown PLC based ‘Smart Meter’ solutions to be sufficient for monthly readings or non-critical daily device communications[1][1] An attractive alternative are the various wireless Smart Grid solutions being developed worldwide and applied in Europe. Ranging from point-to-multipoint solutions (e.g. cellular radio or satellite) through RF mesh solutions, and including hybrid deployments of both architectures[2].[2] [1][1] ESB Networks, Smart Meter Project, 11 November 2010 – http://www.cer.iehttp://www.cer.ie [2][2] ibid
