Smart Grid Requirements Drafted by Open SG
• UCA International User group: Open SG Communications WG
– Drafting detailed flow of control and data information across all SG interfaces
– Characterizing communication requirements
– Input into NIST Priority Action Plan (PAP) 2 on “Wireless communications
Smart Grid”
– SG Network requirements specification v4.0 [1].
• Several use cases considered
– Residential & Commercial
– Customer, Distribution, Transmission
– Electrical, Gas etc.
• For IEEE 802.16p focus on
– Smart Metering
– Distribution Automation

Smart Grid Interfaces Applicable for 802.16p
• Smart Metering (Commercial and Residential)
– Home Area Network
– Field Area Network
• Smart Meter to Data Aggregation Point (DAP)
– Wide Area Network
• Smart Meter to AMI Head-end
• DAP to AMI Head-end
• Distribution Automation
– Wide Area Network
• Monitor and control of distribution equipment
– Field Area Network
• Monitor and control of distribution equipment through an aggregation point

Traffic Characteristics of Smart Grid Applications
•
Large number of connected devices (e.g. 1K-15 K smart meters/sector )
•
No mobility
•
Devices typically remain attached to the network for monitoring and control
•
Small burst transmission
– Interval (periodic) meter readings: Multi-interval reporting, meter reading requests, error
reporting
– On-demand meter readings: requests, responses, error reporting
– Parameter, service updates and commands, acknowledgements, errors
–
Event and alarm reporting
– Pricing, payments, power charging rate (PHEV) information
•
Higher reliability for Distribution Automation, alarms and event reporting
•
Possible group transmission, for group-wide update of system parameters etc.
•
Periodic software upgrades
•
Low power is desirable to maintain continued operation during power outage

Recommended Requirements for 802.16p
• Ensure network scalability for large number of devices and transactions
• Exploit intermittent, infrequent traffic and minimize operation in connected
state
• Improve random access and polling/paging mechanisms
• Exploit low-mobility to reduce signaling in the network
• Exploit group addressing and control
• May need to support new device monitoring and alarm functions
• Support power efficient operation

Summary & Recommendations
• Smart Grid is an important use case for M2M communications
• Smart grid requirements apply to targeted enhancements in the IEEE
802.16p PAR: a) extremely large number of devices b) small burst traffic
c) low power transmissions.
• Address Smart Grid requirements as part of IEEE 802.16p system
