Goal To The Maximum Reasonable Extent,Interface
Standards Should Be Based on Common Semantics
(e.g., CIM) to Avoid Adding to Integration
Anarchy
Without Common Semantics, Point-to-Point
Integration Will Continue at the Data Level
Integration anarchy is a chaos of (1) duplicated
logic, (2) duplicated data, (3) duplicated
effort, (4) newly acquired integration
difficulties, (5) lack of ability to easily
create new application functionality from
services, and (6) lack of ability to support
business processes with applications Integration
anarchy will result in higher costs and an
inflexible, brittle Smart Grid System

An Example of How The IEC and Utilities are
Collaborating to Define Interface Standards Based
on Common Semantics

1. AMI-Ent is a user-driven organization that starts
   with standards and extends them in an efficient
   and quick manner to meet current utility project
   requirements.
2. Appropriate extensions are fed back through the
   CIM User Group and/or directly to the IEC.
3. Artifacts of this organization are from the
   utility integration point-of-view, which is a
   superset of the application/product-oriented
   point-of-view of the generic IEC interfaces.

IEC Strategic Group on Smart Grid (SG3)
IEC TC8
Contextual Framework
Business Requirements / Use Cases

1. IEC is the SDO for the Electric Industry
2. SG3  is the Standard Management Board  arm that
   defines what IEC is doing for the SmartGrid. This
   is translated into a framework.
3. TC8 is developing standards at the Utility needs
   and requirements level and collaborates with the
   other TCs that are developing technical
   specifications standards.
4. TC57 is responsible for power system management
   and associated information exchange.
5. WG14 (of TC57) is responsible for utility
   enterprise information exchange standards using
   the Common Information Model (CIM)

IEC TCs

1. The UCA (Utility Communications Architecture)
   User Group is dedicated to promoting the
   integration and interoperability of
   electric/gas/water utility. It is the User
   Community for all TC57 standards and other
   related users concerns.
2. The CIM User Group is a fast growing organization
   of CIM users that provide important feedback and
   suggestions to the SDO.

1. OpenSG Subcommittee is responsible for (a)
   rationalization of standard-setting organizations
   to ensure that technical standards are developed
   with independence, transparency and broad
   industry representation and (b) ensuring Testing
   Standards and Certification Guidelines are
   defined and support functional and timing
   requirements of industry initiatives and evolution

1. The ZigBee HomePlug Smart Energy Alliance is
   currently sponsoring an activity to update its
   Smart Energy Profile to take advantage of the
   standard and technology neutral CIM.
2. This work is planned to be proposed to become a
   new part in the IEC 61968 series of standards.

The ZigBeeHomePlug Technical Working Group
Application Sub-Group

• Scope and Charter
• Is tasked with building an application layer
  standard for a HAN which allows energy
  applications to communicate with edge energy
  devices over an external network (AMI, broadband
  Internet, etc.) core using a common API and set
  of objects. 
• Is concerned with services and communications
  localized to a single HAN and those that enable
  communications to and from the HAN. 
• Shall use the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile as the
  forward starting point and its work shall be
  mapped to IEC 61968 (CIM) and any gaps
  identified.

The AMI Enterprise Task Force

• Scope and Charter
• Defines requirements, policies, and services
• Based on utility industry standards such as the
  Common Information Model (CIM)
• Required for information exchange and control
  between the MDMS or MDUS and enterprise back
  office systems.
