U.S. Smart Grid Focused Areas
 Wide-area situational awareness: Monitoring and display of power-system
components and performance across interconnections and wide geographic
areas in near real-time
 Demand response: Mechanisms and incentives for business and residential
customers to cut energy use during times of peak demand.
 Electric storage: Means of storing electric power, directly or indirectly
 Electric transportation: Refers, primarily, to enabling large-scale of plug-in
electric vehicles (PEVs)
 Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI): Primary means for utilities to
interact with meters at customer sites.
 Distribution Grid Management: Maximizing performance of feeders,
transformers, and other components of networked distribution systems and
integrating with transmission systems and customer operations.
 Cyber Network Security

Smart Grid
 Morgan Stanley Research estimates the
opportunity in the Smart Grid market will grow
from $20B in 2008, to $40B by 2013, and $100B
by 2030

Highlight of TIA Activities (1)
 TIA is a voting member of the Smart Grid Interoperability
Panel
• TIA provided NIST with list of wireless standards relevant to network for
smart grid.
 TIA participates in the activities of the SGIP Priority Action
Group on wireless protocols (PAP02) to develop guidelines
for use of wireless protocols for smart grid applications.
• TR-45.5 provided characteristics for wireless protocols to SGIP
PAP02 regarding evaluation of wireless technologies for cdma2000
and HRPD technologies
•
“It is shown that the cdma2000 1x and HRPD systems can easily
handle the Wireless Wide Area Network traffic created by the use
cases under the heaviest load”
• TR45.3 input IMT-2000 TDMA-SC parameters to the NIST Smart
Grid work by means of its TDMA-SC partner ATIS WTSC.
6
Highlight of TIA Activities (2)
 TIA is developing an access agnostic set of M2M protocols
in Committee TR-50 which can be used for smart grid
devices.
 TIA is developing a standard in TR-41 for immunity to
voltage surges that smart grid equipment may encounter
as a result of lightning strikes.

Environmental/Energy Activities
 Dept of Energy (DoE) / Smart Grid
• TIA filing with DoE on how to use smart grid stimulus funds—the
members seemed most interested in asking for a technology
neutral approach (don’t favor/fund one particular architecture or
technology over another) and also urged that consumers’ should
have access to data related to energy usage inside their homes
• TIA will be submitting additional information to DoE and DoE is
interested in participating in roundtables, lunches, and other
potential events where TIA members can continue to dialogue and
exert influence over decision making in the agency.
10
Environmental/Energy Activities
 California PUC Smart Grid Order
• TIA submitted comments to the CA PUC(Public Utilities
Commission) encouraging a federal approach to
identification of standards best practices rather than a
California-specific approach, and also advocated for
flexibility in smart grid deployment plans to allow for
adoption of newer technologies by utilities
11
Challenges
 How can the SDOs coordinate their work on Smart
Grid standards to avoid duplication of efforts and
harmonize incompatible specifications
12
Next Steps/Actions
 Continued focus on development of standards to
support the Smart Grid
13
Proposed New Resolution
 TIA supports ISACC proposal for new resolution
for Smart Grid
 TIA has submitted contribution with recommended
modifications to the ISACC draft resolution.


Many countries have initiated Smart Grid activities, including China, EU, Japan,
Korea and the U.S. Each may have different scopes and approaches due to
differences in regional requirements.
Smart Grids are an opportunity for the ICT industry. Partnership and
cooperation between power and ICT companies are vital to the success of the
smart grid story.
Key areas of work: communications and networking, data management,
privacy, and cyber security.
NIST works under EISA mandate to identified standards gaps and ensure
interoperability. The SGIP is working with stakeholders to develop/harmonize
standards. Many SDOs are SGIP members ITU, IEC, ATIS, TIA, IETF, IEEE.
ETSI work on EU M/411 Smart Metering mandate to build standards for
European smart meters, allowing interoperability and Consumer actual
consumption awareness.

ATIS and TIA worked with SGIP Priority Action Plan on Wireless to
characterize wireless protocols and develop guidelines for use these protocol
in smart grid applications.
Korea SG standards organizations: Standardization Committee for SG, SG
Standards Forum, SG ICT Convergence Forum, WG 2142.
ITU-T formed a Focus Group on Smart Grid, “ …to collect and document
information and concepts that would be helpful for developing
Recommendations to support smart grid from a telecommunication/ICT
perspective.”
Challenges: better partnership between power and ICT industry; multiplicity of
standards, duplication of work, etc.
Needs stronger cooperation and collaboration among national, regional and
international activities that relate to standardization in the field of "Smart Grids
and ICT”
Proposal recommending new resolution for Smart Grid

TR-41 Smart Grid Standard
 Standard on immunity to voltage surges that smart grid equipment may
encounter as a result of lightning strikes
• SG equipment may be connected to both the ac power grid and a metallic
communications network (Ethernet, telephone line, etc.)
• The communications network is likely to have a ground connection located
somewhere other than where the neutral wire for 120/240 V power entering the
premises is grounded.
• A lightning surge in the nearby vicinity of the equipment can produce a
momentary increase in the voltage on one of the ground connections (i.e., a
“ground potential rise”) that does not occur on the other.
• This momentary ground potential rise can result in a large voltage surge occurring
between the power and communication ports of the equipment, a surge which
the equipment must be able to withstand if it is to continue functioning as
intended.

•
Repair crews from different regions can have common and reliable communications
even to support recovery from devastating natural disasters such as Katrina.

•
•
•
Ubiquity – uniform coverage across North America
Independent link availability and reliability for redundancy

NIST-identified Standards for
Implementation
 A list of 31 standards and specifications for which NIST believes widest
stakeholder consensus exists http://collaborate.nist.gov/twikisggrid/bin/view/_SmartGridInterimRoadmap/SGR1Standards
They are identified using the following criteria:
• Standard was supported by a standards development organization (SDO) or via
an emergent SDO process.
• Standard is also supported by a users’ community.
• Standard is directly relevant to the Use Cases analyzed for the Smart Grid .
• Consideration was given to those standards with a viable installed base and
vendor community.
 50 additional standards (set) for further review, subject to necessary
modifications or review by application requirements
