The NIST Roadmap II meeting on May 20th delivered many reports.
The Business, Markets & Policy Group cross cutting session addressed many issues and delivered several reports based on the workgroup discussions. Some of the policy and business issues were:
Three points:
1. Why interoperability standards -
- you define the functionality of the smart grid
- helps define universe of participants – the more broadly its written, the more that can participate
- a lot of how 3rd parties participate depend on how the standards are set
- sets a regulatory construct for how to evaluate smart grid decisions – need a definition; having standards puts everything in context
2. What do standards need to do/what ARE interoperability standards
- need to facilitate development of a smart grid; need to facilitate the growth of a smart grid; for instance, what version of a smart grid can we make with what we have right now. How do we get those standards to get us to the standards we want.
3. How should they be implemented?
- start from in-place standards first of all; from a regulator’s point of view, certain exist due to market structure. NASB; for AMI, OpenAMI task force. 1547. these are starting points. Distributed generation also; UL labs, these are groups that are already doing this.
