Objectives of the Smart Grid Demonstrations
• Provide real world experience with a new technology
• Characterize the economics of broader deployment
• Help characterize the benefits of the technology within the
overall infrastructure
• Identify integration requirements of the technology with
the overall architecture (especially compliance with
standards such as the Common Information Model)
• Identify work force requirements (manpower
requirements, skill sets, training, etc.) associated with
broader deployment, operation, and maintenance
• Provide the basis for overall cost/benefit assessment of
the technology application within the overall architecture.

Summary – Smart Grid Demos and CIM
• Maximize the use of standards, particularly CIM in each Demonstration
Project.
• Provide feedback on the successes and challenges of CIM
implementation.
• Promote interoperability tests. Needed now more than ever.
– Multispeak – CIM harmonizations
– Inter-operability among Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
head-end systems, Meter Data Management (MDM) systems,
and Outage Management Systems (OMS).
– Topology and electrical model compatibility between GIS and
OMS and/or SCADA/DMS using the Common Distribution Power
System Model (CDPSM).
• Promote other programs such as research into cleaning up GIS data.
