What is the Smart Grid?

Increase system efficiency and cost effectiveness

Provide customers tools to manage energy use

Improve reliability, resiliency and power quality

Enable use of innovative technologies including renewables, storage and electric vehicles

The Smart Grid integrates information technology and advanced communications into the power system in order to:

Smart Grid Interoperability

Interoperability: The ability of 2 or more networks, systems, devices, applications, or components to communicate & operate together effectively, securely, & without significant user intervention– Communication requires agreement on a physical

interface & communication protocols

– Exchanging meaningful & actionable information requires common definitions of terms & agreed upon responses

– Consistent performance requires standards for the reliability, integrity, and security of communications

– Interoperability may include: “Plug and play”: connect them & they work together Interchangeability: Ability to readily substitute

components

NIST/SGIP Smart Grid

The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) was created as a public/private partnership for longer-term evolution of standards interoperability

SGIP will support NIST in fulfilling its responsibilities under the 2007 Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA).

SGIP will identify, prioritize and address new and emerging requirements for Smart Grid standards. It will further develop the initial NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards

SGIP Testing and Certification Committee (SGTCC)

SG Testing and Certification Committee

– Consist of at least eight members selected by the Plenary Chair, and all other interested members confirmed by majority vote of the SGIP.

– Creates and maintains the necessary documentation and organizational framework for compliance, interoperability and cyber security testing and certification for SGIP-recommended Smart Grid standards.

Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM)

The IPRM is a key foundational element of the SGTCC Testing and Certification Framework. It will enable the adoption of consistent and measurable certification and testing policies and procedures across all Smart Grid standards based on the conformance, interoperability, and cybersecurity testing experience and expertise of SGTCC participants, and the widely accepted ISO Guide 65 and ISO 17025 international standards for laboratory and certification program quality management systems.


http://www.wll.com/


The SGTCC has developed and issued this Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM) detailing its recommendations on processes and best practices that enhance Smart Grid interoperability testing and certification programs. Implementation of the IPRM by Interoperability Testing and Certification Authorities (ITCAs) will increase the quality of standards-based, secure and interoperable products in the Smart Grid marketplace.

The SGTCC believes that implementation of the IPRM will lead to reduced deployment costs of Smart Grid systems and devices and enhanced product quality with respect to interoperability and conformance, ultimately providing confidence to end users through meaningful certification programs.

Thank you for your attention


Don Heirman BiographyDonald Heirman is president of Don HEIRMAN Consultants, training, standards, and educational electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) consultation corporation. Previously he was with Bell Laboratories for over 30 years in many EMC roles including Manager of Lucent Technologies (Bell Labs) Global Product Compliance Laboratory, which he founded, and where he was in charge of the Corporation’s major EMC and regulatory test facility and its participation in ANSI accredited standards and international EMC standardization committees. He chairs, or is a principal contributor to, US and international EMC standards organizations including ANSI ASC C63® (chairman), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) International Special Committee on Radio Interference (CISPR) where in October 2007 he was named the chair of CISPR moving from he previous role as its subcommittee A chairman responsible for CISPR Publication 16. He is a member of the IEC’s Advisory Committee on EMC (ACEC) and the Technical Management Committee of the US National Committee of the IEC. In November 2008 he was presented with the prestigious IEC Lord Kelvin award at the IEC General Meeting in Sao Paulo, Brazil. This is the highest award in the IEC and recognizes Don’s many contributions to global electrotechnical standardization in the field of EMC. He is a life Fellow of the IEEE and a life member of the IEEE EMC Society (EMCS) and member of its Board of Directors, chair of its technical committee on EMC measurements, past EMCS president, newly elected vice president for standards, and past chair of its standards development committee. He is also past president of the National Cooperation for Laboratory Accreditation (NACLA). He is also past president of the IEEE Standards Association (SA), past member of the SA Board of Governors and past member of the IEEE’s Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
