Susan previously served as Senior Manager, Regulatory and Technical Strategy, at QUALCOMM; and before that at TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association) in various capacities including Director, Standards Development and Promotion.
- Thank you Patrick.I am going to present selected highlights of SGIP Technical Activities in the last six weeks. There is considerable more activity than what I am presenting and I encourage participants to log in to SGIP Workspace to delve further into the detailsI also want to let participants know that there is a reference slide with links to our last webinar on SGIP technical activities with more detail than I am presenting.Before I go on, I want to set the stage and briefly review the diagram showing the organization of the SGIP Technical Groups.On the left side we have the Domain Expert Working Groups-DEWGSWe have 7 which are industry sector focused-VERTICAL the industry sectors and often develop white papers, use cases and models and identifying subject areas for Priority Action Plans.On the far right, we have the Standing Member Committees which view the smart grid system from the HORIZONTAL perspective on topics such as architecture, cybersecurity, implementation, testing and certificationIn the middle, we have the Priority Action Plans which represent SWAT teams working on developing requirements for an identified standards need or gap and collaborate with standards developer to accelerate the development of interoperability standards.
- Transactive Energy is a hot topic. the industry is closely examining how it will affect the traditional methods of operation. It means that the electric distribution system is transforming from a one-way generator to end-user transmission system to a smart grid with resources like distributed generation, load management, ancillary services, and even generation resources owned by third parties or end-users.We are excited that the Grid Wise Architectural Council GWAC will be announcing its Transactive Energy framework at the SGIP November conference.SGAC formed Transactive Energy Management Working Party to start examining architectural implications including market clearing and market mechanisms such as credit systems and billing. Sensors for Transmission and Distribution Networks is another hot topic.Our Gas technologies working group is preparing requirements for a new PAP for Distributed Pressure Sensors which can be linked to AMI/AMR and will have its first meeting next week and will also meet in November at the Annual Conference.
- On the Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee, they completing review of the NIST Interagency Report #7628 Guidelines for Smart Grid Cybersecurity.
- Standards is just one component of enabling interoperability. Testing and Certification and actual Implementation are two other dimensions which SGIP encompasses.SGTCC is IDENTIFYING TESTING NEEDS AND PRIORITIES, and currently conducting a survey to utilities to gather input on testing priorities. For more information, please contact Dean Prochaska at NIST.SGIMC is working to develop a clearinghouse and forum for real world experiences in smart grid deployment, including IEC 61850 implementation. The Committee has been re-vitalized and is actively recruiting utilities to share experience.IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation
- Distributed Renewables, Generation & Storage (DRGS) DEWG a broad scope with six subgroups.Highlight just a few of its output.Defining plans to coordinate development of test procedures and test plans for grid interactive Smart Inverter functionsandSUBGROUP C is working cooperatively with the Dept. of Energy to define use cases based on Microgrid demonstration projectsPAP 21: Weather Information This PAP was approved in 2012, and has recently been re-launched. The focus of the PAP is developing requirements for the Communication of measured and forecasted weather data which is important for many diverse Smart Grid applications.
- DRGS-Subgroup B-Use Cases, Information Exchange, and Object Models has prepared two white papers on Distributed Energy Resources (DER).One on cyberphysical systems and recommendationsAnd the other:Distributed Energy Resources (DER): Hierarchical Classification of Use Cases and the Process for Developing Information Exchange Requirements and Object Models”
- Joint effort of B2G/I2G to prepare a white paper on electrical storage versus thermo storage.Business cases for electrical storage for utilities are defined and what are the customer owned storage options and how it impacts the grid.(how the two inter-relate and how demand for renewable generation can be balanced)WOULD LIKE MORE PARTICIPATION FOR STORAGE EXPERTS IN THIS EFFORTThe group is also preparing a white paper on “transactive energy retail applications” and its first draft will be released and discussed at the SGIP November conference.B2G/I2G focusing on customer participation in market. Includes section on challenges from different stakeholder perspectives. Provide examples of retail transactive energy GWAC is more from utility perspective.
- DRGS DEWG is also leading the work on Smart Grid architectural reference models including DER and microgrids with other agencies and providing international coordination.The Transmission and Distribution DEWG recently contributed to the discussion on whether to include an additional DER domain in the Smart Grid Conceptual Model and Architecture. This is a result of harmonization activities with the European Union where EU has added such a domain.H2G DEWG is a very active DEWG with a number of projects. I am going to highlight just a few. H2G is providing input to the joint B2G/I2G DEWG on its paper for retail transactive energy and it is also investigating the impact of TE on residential devices. This may result in a white paper of use case scenarios.
- H2G is also examining tools for Grid stablility and how home appliances can be adated for load following and frequency regulation.H2G is investigating impact of microinverters on residential power systems.In our DEWG, Business and Policy
- The SGIP Catalog of Standards is a compendium of standards, practices, guidelines and other technical documents considered relevant for the development and deployment of a robust and interoperable Smart Grid and is assembled as a reference to the Smart Grid community with the intent of serving a useful resource for utilities, manufacturers, regulators, consumers, and other Smart Grid stakeholders. Each standard listed in the Catalog contains extensive information and has gone through a rigorous, multi-part review using objective criteria by industry experts in the SGIP process. The results of the SGIP reviews contain considerations and concerns from various technical perspectives and should be taken into account when one is examining the standard for implementation or for other purposes.
- You can expect an influx of listings for the Catalog of Standards by the end of the year. We expect to have over 10 standards which will be balloted to Participating Members of SGIP in 4th quarter 2013.
- MultiSpeak version 3is a specification / standard that defines standardized interfaces among software applications commonly used by electric utilities. It defines details of data that need to be exchanged between software applications in order to support different processes commonly applied at utilities and is sponsored by the Transmission and Distribution DEWG.
- If your organization is a SGIP member, I encourage you to log in to SGIP Workspace and to self-subscribe to the email lists of the groups which you have interest or to look through the document repository.If you are interested in these activities, I encourage your organization to join SGIP so you can have access to these activities and help shape the output which helps accelerate interoperability standards for Smart Grid.
