The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is where Nobel Prize-winning science meets real-world engineering.
With an extremely broad research portfolio, world-class facilities, national networks, and an international reach, NIST works to support industry innovation – our central mission.
About NIST
8
Why Standards?
• We have long recognized the value of measurements and standards.
• From the very first civilizations, we’ve adopted many systems of measurement:– Length (cubits, ells, inches, centimeters)– Distance (leagues, fathoms, miles, kilometers, light
years)– Weight (grams, stones, pounds, tons)– Calendars (Julian, Mayan, Chinese, Jewish)
• With each system of measurement, it became useful to develop standards.
9
What are Standards?
• Standards are written agreements containing technical specifications or other precise criteria that may contain rules, guidelines, or definitions of characteristics.
• Standards ensure that materials, products, personnel qualifications, processes, and services are:– adequate for their purpose; – compatible and/or interchangeable, if necessary; – safe for individuals and the public;– safe and friendly for the environment; and/or – able to improve economic performance.

What Is Interoperability?
• The capability of different systems and devices to communicate and work effectively together
• There are degrees of interoperability
12
Benefits of Smart Grid Interoperability Standards
• Make it easy for consumers to use smart devices regardless of location & provider
• Protect privacy while enabling consumers to securely access information on their own energy consumption
• Prevent premature obsolescence, facilitate future upgrades, & ensure systems can be scaled up for larger deployments
• Provide for backward compatibility, integrating new investments with existing equipment
• Expand product markets & promote vendor competition: reducing costs, accelerating innovation, & increasing choice
• Ensure the security & enhance the reliability of the power grid
13
What is Conformity Assessment?
• Conformity assessment is a way to very that standards are implemented correctly
• Conformity assessment can be conducted by:– a first party, which is generally the supplier or manufacturer
– a second party, which is generally the purchaser or user of the product
– a third party, which is an independent entity that is generally distinct from the first or second party and has no interest in transactions between the two parties
– the government, which has a unique role in conformity assessment activities related to regulatory requirements
14
The Need For Conformance Testing
• Must work end to end
• Provide Interoperability in a multi vendor environment
• Plug and play required for specific products
• Prime focus on inter-domain operations
• Some companies asking for intra-domain testing
• Standards contain many options
• Standards may contain optional ways to support a feature
• Testing helps correct bugs
• Feedback to Standards Development Organizations
15
The Energy Independence and Security Act gives NIST
“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…”
• Congress directed that the framework be “flexible, uniform, and technology neutral”
• Use of these standards is a criteria for federal Smart Grid Investment Grants
• Input to federal and state regulators
Standards – Key Aspect of US Policy

NIST Role in Smart Grid (“National Priority”)• NIST – nonregulatory agency• Standards coordination• Measurement science research
The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 gave NIST “primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes … standards … to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems…”

NIST Smart Grid Framework and Roadmap
• Release 1 - January 2010
• Release 2 - February 2012
• Release 3 – under development
• Smart Grid vision & reference model
• Identifies 100 key standards
• Cybersecurity guidelines
• Testing and certification framework
• Provided a foundation for IEC, IEEE, ITU, and other national and regional standardization efforts
http://www.nist.gov/smartgrid/
Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP)
• Established in 2009 by NIST as a public/private partnership organization to support NIST in its EISA role
• Transitioned to member-funded, non-profit organization SGIP 2.0, Inc. (public/private now private/public)
• SGIP brings together stakeholders to achieve consensus and supports NIST to fulfill its responsibilities under EISA
• NIST and SGIP signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in December 2012 to continue their collaborative relationship
NIST Director Pat Gallagher and SGIP 2.0 Chair John McDonald shake hands after signing the official Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SGIP 2.0, solidifying the future relationship of NIST with the new organization.

ScopeApplications and communications linking energy service providers (utilities and other third-party providers) with customer equipment in residential buildings via the electric grid and associated networks. Customer equipment may include home appliances, consumer electronics, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and local power sources (such as photovoltaics).
Scope◦Plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) interaction with the
electric grid, including discharging as well as charging and customer-utility interactions
Vision◦Create the infrastructure to make plugin vehicles a
reality, including ability to charge at different locations and billing one account, using the PEV as an energy storage device for DR
◦Provide support for customer-utility interactions for account setup, diagnostics and report generation
PRIORITY ACTION PLANS
PAPs arise from the analysis of the applicability of standards to the Use Cases of the Smart Grid
PAPs include identified experts from related Standard Development Organizations (SDOs)
Currently there are 13 active PAPs and 6-8 topics in the pipeline for creation
Each PAP is at different point in the review cycle
Consumers should have access to their own energy usage information in a downloadable, easy-to-use electronic format, offered by their utility or retail energy service provider
