RESOLUTION GSC-15/29: Smart Grid
1. to encourage ongoing cooperation and collaboration among national,
regional and international activities that relate to standardization for
the Smart Grid, including not only ICT, but also the energy sector;
2. to promote globally consistent standards, where appropriate and
beneficial, to facilitate interoperability, innovation, market competition
and infrastructure development to address user needs in a timely and
cost effective basis through cooperation and collaboration among
global, regional and national SDOs on Smart Grid; and
3. to encourage the ITU, PSOs, Observer Organizations of the GSC,
and NIST/SGIP to work together with other national, regional and
international stakeholders from the ICT and utility industries on the
development of a comprehensive set of Smart Grid standards.

Smart Grid Characteristics
• Integration of power engineering and utilization
with Information and Communication Technology
• Extends over entire supply chain; generation,
transmission, distribution, and energy utilization
• Interaction between customer side of the meter
and utility systems
• Smart Grid is not new, it is an evolutionary
process

ISACC Proposal to revise
GSC-15 Resolution 29 - Smart Grid
• Add a new sentence to “Recognizing”:
Recognizing:
h) that economies of scale can be derived from standardized
equipment using harmonized spectrum.
• Add three words to point #1 in “Resolves” :
Resolves:
1. to encourage ongoing cooperation and collaboration among
national, regional and international activities that relate to
standardization and spectrum harmonization for the Smart Grid,
including not only ICT, but also the energy sector;

CSA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
• Adopt international or regional standards where feasible
rather than developing unique Canadian standards.
• Integration of national standards committees with Canadian
Subcommittees to IEC.
• Open & inclusive process with opportunity for input from
stakeholders.
• Decisions made by consensus by committees with balance of
representation from stakeholder interests.
Vision for Smart Grid - standards based on international
standards and harmonized across North America.
