Who is NIST?

• The National Institute of Standards and
  Technology (NIST) is the U.S. National
  Measurement Laboratory
• -- Mission to develop and promote measurement,
  standards, and technology
• -- support objectives of federal participation in
  the development and use of voluntary standards.

NIST Roles in Smart Grid

• Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of
  2007
• Title XIII, Section 1305. Smart Grid
  Interoperability Framework
• The Framework
• Protocols and standards that shall further
  align policy, business, technology solutions
• Enable connection of all electric resources,
  including demand-side resources, into an
  efficient, reliable grid
• Seek input from
• FERC, DoE OE Smart Grid Task Force, Smart Grid
  Advisory Committee, and other relevant Federal
  agencies
• GWAC, IEEE, NEMA

NIST shall have 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

NIST Roles in Smart Grid (contd)

• Scope of framework
• Flexible, uniform, technology-neutral
• Needs to accommodate traditional generation and
  transmission
• distributed generation, renewables, energy
  storage, energy efficiency
• enabling devices and systems
• flexibility to accommodate
• regional and organizational differences
• new technologies
• Should include voluntary standards for electric
  appliances and equipment for homes and businesses
  that
• Enable emergency response or demand response for
• load reduction
• adjustment to load to provide ancillary services
• response to crisis or load shedding to preserve
  grid reliability

NIST work plan summary for 2008

• (June - Sept 08) Review the current state of
  Smart Grid related standards and interoperability
  and present this in an overview Landscape Map
  tied to a detailed standards knowledge base. This
  will become a platform for developing consensus
  on where interoperability gaps exist and
  priorities for addressing those gaps.
• (Sept 23-25) Present this information at GridWeek
  and invite participation in a NIST
  Interoperability Standards Workshop at
  GridInterop (Nov 11) that will be focused on
  evaluating a roadmap for addressing standards
  gaps and path toward interoperability.
• NIST is also working to develop domain expert
  working groups to help with Gridweek and the
  workshop as well as to guide and sustain action
  on standards development and harmonization
  activities.

NIST Summary

• 2007 EISA has mandated that NIST lead the
  coordination of a interoperability framework of
  object model standards and protocols
• DEWGs are being established to identify standards
  needs in Smart Grid domain areas
• A one-day NIST Interoperability Standards
  Workshop will be held in November co-joined with
  the GridInterop conference
• A report will be published in December on the
  status of interoperability standards for the
  Smart Groups

Smart Grid Roadmap for 2009

• As part of the Obama Administrations commitment
  to moving the nation towards energy independence,
  the National Institute of Standards and
  Technology (NIST) has contracted with the
  Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI) to
  help it develop an interim Roadmap for Smart
  Grid standards interoperability. 
• To allow various industry stakeholders to provide
  comments and suggestions to the Roadmap, NIST is
  organizing a workshop on April 28-29 to review
  the high-level principles for the Roadmap and a
  second workshop on May 19-20 to review the draft
  findings and recommendations from the Roadmap. 
• The first Roadmap Workshop was held at the Hyatt
  Regency at Reston Town Center, 1800 Presidents
  Street in Reston, Virginia. The second Roadmap
  workshop's location will be held at Gaylord
  National Resort Convention. Both workshops are
  open to the public and free of charge
• Utilities Executive and Technical Staff,
  Regulators, Vendors, Builders, State and Federal
  Government Personnel, Consumer Advocates,
  Engineers, Planners and Integrators are strongly
  recommended to attend. NIST welcomes your
  participation in both of these events to provide
  input to the draft Roadmap.

Smart Grid Roadmap for 2009 (contd)

• The purpose of the Smart Grid Interoperability
  Workshop on May 19-20 2009 is to provide an
  opportunity for the NIST Domain Expert Working
  Groups (DEWGs) and other industry stakeholders to
  meet face to face for a second time to continue
  the consensus building process for a Smart Grid
  Standards Interoperability Interim Roadmap.
• The key objective of this exercise is to use this
  consensus based process to select a particular
  set of interoperable standards for key interfaces
  between domains that make up the Smart Grid
  Systems of Systems.
• Support high priority Smart Grid applications
  such as the four priority functionalities from
  the FERC Draft Smart Grid Policy Demand
  Response, Wide Area Situational Awareness,
  Electric Storage, and Electric Transportation
