Perspective: The coordination of supply and demand is already of critical importance on the grid; tomorrow, with the increase of distributed energy resources, this coordination becomes more critical. The coordination must involve enterprise activities, home operations and family schedules, and market operations.
Priority Action Plan 5: Standard Meter Data Profiles
Description: Utilize ANSI C12.19-2008 data models to represent one or more meter profiles to simplify client access to commonly shared information
Perspective: ANSI C12.19, like many standards, leaves so many vendor and user options that data remains very different from meter-to-meter. This PAP is working to narrow the options, ideally to a single profile.

Priority Action Plan 9: Standard Demand Response and Distributed Energy Resources Signals
Description: This work will develop or adopt standard Demand Response and Distributed Energy Resources signals
Perspective: Important step towards standardization needed to convey and interpret information exchanges that support coordinated response of distributed resources in a common fashion
Priority Action Plan 10: Standard Energy Usage Information
Description: Develop data standards to exchange fine grained and timely information about energy usage
Perspective: Customers will benefit from standardized energy usage information that enables them to make better decisions. An understanding of energy usage informs better decisions about energy use and conservation, and is the basis for performance feedback on the operation of customer owned energy management systems and understanding device energy usage and management.
Priority Action Plan 11: Interoperability Standards to Support Plug-in Electric Vehicles
Description: Develop standardized communications object models for Plug-in Electric Vehicles
Perspective: The impact of PEVs on the grid is expected to be significant, and the ability to control the charging profiles through price or direct control, the need for cyber security, the issues of safety, the possibility of allowing customers to sell PEV electricity back into the grid requires common object models to manage all these aspects.
Priority Action Plan 11: Interoperability Standards to Support Plug-in Electric Vehicles

Priority Action Plan 12: IEC 61850 Objects / DNP3 Mapping
Description: Developing an overall strategy whereby systems and components based on DNP communications can appropriately integrate with IEC 61850 based communications
Perspective: DNP3 is the de facto communication protocol used at the distribution and transmission level; however, DNP3 does not possess all of the desirable attributes for use in the SmartGrid. A means must be found to enable transport of Smart Grid management functions over these legacy DNP3 networks.
Priority Action Plan 12: IEC 61850 Objects / DNP3 Mapping
Task Description Completion Date
1: Define Use Cases 2009-10 2: Identify to what extent DNP XML supports the use cases and what the gaps are
2009-12
3: Identify how 61850 SCL can make the external reference 2009-12 4: Gap Analysis: Verify how SCL could support all use cases 2009-12 5: Define rules for associating DNP XML and 61850 SCL in supporting use cases
2010-03
6: Create Example DNP XML file mappings 2010-05 7: Develop Guidelines for use of 61850 and DNP integration strategies
Priority Action Plan 13: Time Synchronization, IEC 61850 Objects/IEEE C37.118 Harmonization
Description: Develop guidelines on how to achieve common time synchronization and address issues related to that synchronization.
Perspective: This work will assist and accelerate the integration of standards that can impact phasor measurement and applications depending on PMU-based data and information
Priority Action Plan 15: Harmonize Power Line Carrier (PLC) Standards for Appliance Communications in the Home
Description: There are multiple standards being developed for power line communications, but none are interoperable. This work will harmonize these different standards to enable the development of an profile that will result in interoperable products for home appliance applications .
Perspective: Powerline Carrier (PLC) technology is suitable for Home Area Networks, some access applications (i.e. Advanced Metering Infrastructure), and has been selected by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for communicating with PH/EVs.
Priority Action Plan 16: Wind Plant Communications NEW
Description: Gather use cases and requirements from wind industry stakeholders with a focus on those requirements associated with integrating bulk wind assets into wind plant operation and utility command and control systems
Perspective: While an international standard for wind power plant communications interoperability exists, few if any developers orutilities have implemented it in the US. Given that 1.5 billion dollars in ARRA funds have been awarded to wind plant projects, it is critical to accelerate the adoption of this standard to ensure those funds do not end up going to systems that are not interoperable which eventually results in stranded assets and less market competition.
