Potential standardization projects

• basic concept of Electricity Continuity Systems (ECS) and Electricity Continuity Plans (ECP)

• criteria to evaluate the impacts caused by the loss of infrastructure (electricity, gas, etc.)

• interconnection between smart home and other smart systems (e.g. water supply)

• Data acquisition, storage and updateStandards on city integrated underground
