What is Smart Grid?
Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) definition:
Smart Grid is one that incorporates information and
communications technology into every aspect of
electricity generation, delivery and consumption in
order to:

Smart Grid – Build-out of Integrated
Communication and Power Infrastructures
• Power Sources and
Generation
• Managing Load
• Measurement and Control
• Security and Privacy
• Energy Management
• Consumer Interface
• Metering Infrastructure
• Data Networks
• Others…
This is a BIG project!!!

Smart Grid Development
•
US Government Leadership
– Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007
– American Recovery and Re-Investment Act ($11.2B incentive)
•
NIST Smart Grid Initiative
– George W Arnold, National Coordinator for Smart Grid Interoperability, NIST
– In co-operation with other Organizations, NIST has “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…”
•
EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) Role
– Chartered with research and leadership in development of Smart Grid roadmap
– Organizing workshops and meetings
•
IEEE SCC21 P2030
– Develop a Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information
Technology Operation With the Electric Power System (EPS), and End-Use
Applications and Loads
• Chair: Dick DeBlasio; Vice-Chair: Tom Prevost
• Co-Chairs: Bob Grow, Sam Sciacca, Stefano Galli, Bob Heile; Secretary: Tom Basso

Smart Grid Applicability to 802.11
• Numerous Smart Grid usages apply to 802.11
–
–
–
–
–
Within Home and Enterprise
Metro and Residential backhaul
Power Control and Distribution Centers
Integration into the “Smart Meter”
Others…
• Smart Grid is a new and potentially huge market for 802.11
– WFA Alliance notified NIST to include 802.11 (June ’09)
• Why 802.11 for Smart Grid
– Ubiquity and broad success make 802.11 a logical choice
• Embraced by Users and Enterprises Worldwide
– ‘Play’ with 100s million devices out there
– A rich set of tools and techniques
– WiFi Alliance for Interoperability and Certification
•
Broad presence of other technologies: ZigBee, HomePlug, 802.15.4g

802.11 Membership Involvement
• If so…
– Identify our role and contribution to the Smart Grid
– Engage in Smart Grid development process (NIST, EPRI, others)
• NIST Meeting Aug 3-4, 09 in DC area
• Introduce WiFi Requirements in NIST (e.g. AMI, Security, etc.)
– Identify any gaps that exist for 802.11 for Smart Grid usages
• Derive requirements
• If not…
– ???
• Open Discussion

IEEE P2030 Kickoff Meeting Review
•
•
Logistics: June 3-5, 2009 @ Intel, Santa Clara
Attendees: 150 in-person; 300 on webcast
– More Utility participation is needed
•
•
PAR approved March’09, under IEEE SCC21
Develop Guidelines for Smart Grid interoperability
– Develop an architecture framework for Smart Grid
• Focus on Interfaces and Interoperability
• Various SDOs will plug-in their standards
• Will not define any new standards
– 3 Task Groups: Communications, IT, Power Engineering (PE)
• Met to define Task Group’s plans, timeline, assignments and work scope
•
Next Meeting: Oct’09
– Task Groups will have interim meetings/telecons
