Smart Grid Interoperability Panel

orchestrates the work behind power grid modernization

NARRATIVE PROCESS

provides a framework for orchestrating all Smart Grid stakeholders to accelerate standards harmonization and interoperability

SGIP

Identify requirements for interoperability◦ Evaluate technology standards & gaps

Influence how the electric grid is modernized Access collected knowledge of all the domains

in the Smart Grid ecosystem to accelerate interoperability, testing, & certification

Educate government agencies, regulators, operators and suppliers on the value of an interoperable Smart Grid

SGIP’s Role

The modernized electrical power grid is expanding

SGIP eases Smart Grid growing pains by◦ Gathering, documenting customers’ requirements ◦ Engaging all stakeholders to identify and solve

critical problems◦ Encouraging practical implementations◦ Overseeing the path to interoperability through

linking Smart Grid hardware, software and systems

Enabling Interoperable Solutions

Optimizes resources and time Avoids proprietary vendor lock-in Helps build technology roadmaps Simplifies decision making

SGIP Reduces Risks and Costs

SGIP is a collaborative, transparent, and trusted forum to share standards information and practical, hands-on knowledge about deployments from

industry experts.

Integration of Distributed Energy Resources with existing electrical grid in each country

Microgrid control and operation use cases Cybersecurity Risk Management Process Harmonizing weather information models Identifying interoperability gaps around the

nexus of Energy, Water, and Environmental issues

Technical Trends Global Smart Grid

Proprietary standards or country-specific standards are costly barriers for vendors to overcome

◦May eliminate lower cost solutions

◦Reduces innovation from new market entrants

Lack of knowledge of the benefits from adopting standards to drive interoperable solutions

Regulatory Barriers for Smart Grid

Liaisons with several other country organizations to align Smart Grid architecture models and coordinate◦ Korea Smart Grid Standardization Forum (KSGSF)◦ Japan Smart Community Alliance (JSCA)◦ European Union Smart Grid Coordination Group (SG-CG )◦ Ecuadorian Energy National Control Centre (CENACE)◦ Colombia lnteligente lniciative (CII) and ICONTEC◦ National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology of

Brazil (Inmetro)
