NIST is coordinating Smart Gird interoperability

In cooperation with the DoE, NEMA, IEEE, GWAC, and other stakeholders, NIST has “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…”

Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 Title XIII, Section 1305.

Smart Grid Interoperability Framework

Cybersecurity is a national priority

“.. as the United States deploys new Smart Grid technology, the Federal government must ensure that security standards are developed and adopted to avoid creating unexpected opportunities for adversaries to penetrate these systems or conduct large-scale attacks.”

• Real-time, two-way communications

• Use of more open, interoperable architecture designs

• Increased reliance on automation and control

• Exponentially more access points

• Physical access to smart meters

• Interconnected nature of grid
