Qualcomm Atheros is sampling a green version of its HomePlug PHY circuitry aimed at supporting applications such as plug-in electrical vehicles, smart energy, Smart Grid and remote monitoring applications. HomePlug Green PHY is interoperable with the IEEE 1901/HomePlug AV powerline networking protocol, but it swaps the greater-than-200-Mbps rate of the HomePlug AV protocol for low-energy, Continue reading →
IEEE started revisions to its Secure Authentication (SA) protocols contained in its IEEE 1815 Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) standard. The revisions (Version 5) will help increase overall security for data information gathering, exchange, and use in applications like supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. via IEEE revises critical smart grid security standard – FierceSmartGrid.
The IEEE 2030™ protocol which will support the accelerated rollout of the smart grid in Brazil is to be launched officially at the upcoming annual Metering Latin America in Sao Paulo from 25 October. The event will once again unite utilities, smart metering and smart grids experts, regulators and global technology giants during the same Continue reading →
IEEE, the world’s largest professional association advancing technology for humanity, today announced the launch of its newly redesigned Smart Grid Web Portal, which has served as an essential destination for Smart Grid-related information since its initial debut in January 2010. Also available on the Portal at this time is the September edition of the IEEE Continue reading →
IEEE announced that IEEE 2030 — IEEE Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information Technology Operation with the Electric Power System, End-Use Applications, and Loads — has been approved and published. IEEE 2030 establishes a globally relevant smart grid interoperability reference model and knowledge base that can be used by utilities who Continue reading →
The headline of a recent IEEE press release references “surprising smart grid early adopters.” But rural readers won’t be surprised to learn that those early adopters are small electric power cooperatives in sparsely populated rural areas. via IEEE ’surprising’ smart grid findings won’t surprise rural readers | Unfiltered.
IEEE, the world’s largest professional association advancing technology for humanity, today launched a new video series featuring interviews with IEEE experts from around the world discussing the latest smart grid trends and issues.

IEEE, the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology, today announced that John McDonald, IEEE Fellow and Director of Technical Strategy and Policy Development for GE’s Digital Energy business; gave testimony on the progress of standards for Smart Grid interoperability and cyber security before the U.S. House of Representatives’ Subcommittee on Technology and Continue reading →
The vision of a smarter grid is of course a lovely thing to behold: an electric power system that’s much more interactive, interoperable, reliable, and robust—“self-healing,” even. That’s why so much excitement attended the news this time last year that the U.S. stimulus bill would contain billions of dollars in new funding to support smart Continue reading →
The 1st IEEE International Conference on Smart Grid Communications (SmartGridComm) will be held 4 – 6 October 2010 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA. Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the IEEE SmartGridComm conference focuses on all communications aspects that are relevant to the Smart Grid. IEEE Continue reading →
In the home networking standards game, the HomePlug Powerline Alliance is sometimes overshadowed by Home Phoneline Networking Alliance and the Multimedia over Coax Alliance, but a closer relationship with the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers is raising its profile. This week, the IEEE P1901 Working Group passed an initial sponsor ballot that moves the Continue reading →
Worth noting that the IEEE P1901 Working Group – which is working on global standards for powerline networking – has given the thumbs-up to the current draft of the standard. A final version of the IEEE 1901 powerline networking standard should be available in the third quarter. via Getting things together on the smart grid Continue reading →
The HomePlug® Powerline Alliance congratulates the IEEE P1901 Working Group on passage of the initial sponsor ballot, paving the way for a global standard for powerline (PLC) networking. The ballot passed with over 80 percent of affirmative votes, which demonstrates the overwhelming industry support behind 1901. Final ratification of the standard is expected in the Continue reading →
There are two sets of standards for powerline communications – one for household wiring, the other for powerline communications – and the advocates for each are finally going to try to cooperate, with the Smart Grid program as a catalyst and the IEEE as a mediator. The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) said it is facilitating Continue reading →
