Executive Summary

Use and marketing of existing standards
Many of the necessary standards already exist. There are internationally recognized standards in the fields of power,
industrial and building automation. These will have to be used and promotef accordingly.

Coordination and focus
The Smart Grid is characterised by a large number of players and disciplines. Inter-domain cooperation and
coordination by the establishment of a steering group and groups dealing with focal and interdisciplinary topics are
necessary if duplication of effort is to be avoided.

Further development of standards
The fundamental need for action consists in linking the established domains.

Support for innovation
In order to promote innovation, standardization should focus on interoperability and avoid specification of technical
solutions.

Speed / International orientation
There is at present competition between different national and regional standardization concepts. Rapid
implementation of the results achieved in Germany (Europe) in standards is therefore essential.

Involvement in standardization
Increased participation in standardization activities on national, regional and international levels is necessary for
achievement of the objectives. German companies should therefore make greater contributions to German, European
and international standardization.

Political support
Close dovetailing cooperation of research and development, regulation and the legal framework with standardization is
necessary.
