Smart Grid: NIST Role and Three Phase Plan
Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, Title XIII, Section 1305. Smart Grid
Interoperability Framework: In cooperation with the DoE and other stakeholders, 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…”
PHASE 1
Engage stakeholders in a participatory public process to identify applicable standards, gaps in
currently available standards and priorities for new standardization activities
PHASE 2
Establish a formal standards panel to
drive longer-term progress: Smart
Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP)

Conduct an evaluation of the wireless technologies
based on the application requirements: perform gap
analysis and develop guidelines for the use of the
wireless technologies.
Next meeting is February 4, 2010.
