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 →
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 theIEEE Communications Society (ComSoc), the worldwide professional organization dedicated to the advancement of communications technologies, the IEEE SmartGridComm conference focuses on all Continue reading →
No question about it, the “smart grid” is a hot topic. It brings the potential to save energy and customer money, as well as reduces power-plant needs, and who can argue with that? Google is involved, the IEEE has a formal standards committee; all the industry players are getting in on the project. as one Continue reading →
IEEE says its draft standard addressing electric-sourced transportation infrastructure, IEEE P1809, is being redesignated as IEEE P2030.1 and will join the organization’s IEEE P2030 smart grid family of standards. via Renew Grid: Content / FYI / IEEE Redesignates Standard To Reflect Connection With Smart Grid.
IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional association, has launched the IEEE Smart Grid Web Portal, an integrated gateway to Smart Grid intelligence, education, and news from IEEE and other expert sources. The portal is designed for manufacturers, policymakers, educators, academics, governments, engineers, computer scientists, researchers, and other stakeholders in the power and energy, information technology, Continue reading →
An IEEE working group has released Draft 2.0 of its P1901 broadband over power line standard. Publication of the draft is an indicator that the standard is as good as done, and ready for final publication and implementation. via Smart Grid: IEEE Unveils Draft 2.0 of its BPL Standard.
The Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced today that John D. McDonald, general manager of marketing for GE Energy’s transmission and distribution business and an IEEE Fellow, will serve as chair of the governing board of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel, the organization launched by NIST in November to sustain and Continue reading →
Efacec Advanced Control Systems — which for more than 32 years has conducted the industry’s most enduring user group meeting for utility executives and engineers –- applauds next week’s landmark “Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT).” The workshop, the first sponsored by the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) and hosted by the National Continue reading →
The dream of home connectivity, for functions such as home automation and smart grids, but without risking aerial hacking and dead spots and without costly and time-consuming drilling additional holes and fishing more wires is becoming closer to reality. via Smart Grid.
At this week's CES show in Las Vegas, powerline communications (PLC) networking advocates got a nice win as the IEEE announced that it has released the P1901 Draft Standard for powerline communications. via CES 2010: IEEE releases powerline communications draft standard – FierceTelecom.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the “Role of Information and Communications Technologies in Building Smart Grid: Technologies and Markets” report to their offering.
