NIST Roles in Smart Grid
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007
Title XIII, Section 1305. Smart Grid Interoperability Framework
NIST “… shall have primary responsibility to coordinate
development of a framework that includes protocols and
model standards for information management to achieve
interoperability of smart grid devices and systems …”
The Framework:
Protocols and standards that shall further align policy, business, & technology
solutions
• Enable connection of all electric resources, including demand-side
resources, into an efficient, reliable grid
• Seek input from:
– FERC, DoE OE & Smart Grid Task Force, Smart Grid Advisory
Committee, and other relevant Federal agencies
– GWAC, IEEE, NEMA

NIST Roles in Smart Grid (cont’d)
Scope of framework:
– Flexible, uniform, technology-neutral
– Needs to accommodate traditional generation and transmission
• distributed generation, renewables, energy storage, energy efficiency
• enabling devices and systems
• flexibility to accommodate
– regional and organizational differences
– new technologies
– Should include voluntary standards for electric appliances and
equipment for homes and businesses that
• Enable emergency response or demand response for
– load reduction
– adjustment to load to provide ancillary services
– response to crisis or load shedding to preserve grid reliability

NIST work plan summary
1.
2.
3.
(June - Sept 08) Review the current state of Smart Grid related
standards and interoperability and present this in an overview
Landscape Map tied to a detailed standards knowledge base.
This will become a platform for developing consensus on
where interoperability gaps exist and priorities for addressing
those gaps.
(Sept 23-25) Present this information at GridWeek and invite
participation in a NIST Interoperability Standards Workshop at
GridInterop (Nov 11) that will be focused on evaluating a
roadmap for addressing standards gaps and path toward
interoperability.
NIST is also working to develop domain expert working groups
to help with Gridweek and the workshop as well as to guide
and sustain action on standards development and
harmonization activities.

Summary
• 2007 EISA has mandated that NIST lead the
coordination of a interoperability framework of object
model standards and protocols
• DEWGs are being established to identify standards
needs in Smart Grid domain areas
• A one-day NIST Interoperability Standards Workshop will
be held in November co-joined with the GridInterop
conference
• A report will be published in December on the status of
interoperability standards for the Smart Groups
