RESOLUTION GSC-15/29: Smart Grid RESOLUTION GSC-15/29: Smart Grid

1. to encourage ongoing cooperation and collaboration among national, regional and international activities that relate to standardization for the Smart Grid, including not only ICT, but also the energy sector;

2. to promote globally consistent standards, where appropriate and beneficial, to facilitate interoperability, innovation, market competition and infrastructure development to address user needs in a timely and cost effective basis through cooperation and collaboration among global, regional and national SDOs on Smart Grid; and

3. to encourage the ITU, PSOs, Observer Organizations of the GSC, and NIST/SGIP to work together with other national, regional and international stakeholders from the ICT and utility industries on the development of a comprehensive set of Smart Grid standards.

Smart Grid CharacteristicsSmart Grid Characteristics• Integration of power engineering and utilization

with Information and Communication Technology

• Extends over entire supply chain; generation, transmission, distribution, and energy utilization

• Interaction between customer side of the meter and utility systems

• Smart Grid is not new, it is an evolutionary process

Ongoing Standards ActivitiesOngoing Standards Activities

Canada participates in many Smart Grid standards development activities including:

• NIST SGIP

• IEC TC 57

• ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 25 and SC 27

• IEEE 2030

• ITU-R WP 5C

Implementation Issues Implementation Issues

• Incorporation of cyber security in traditional power engineering equipment

• Harmonization of spectrum for Smart Grid

• Customer privacy & data security

• Expanded skill sets for utility personnel

• Verification of interoperability– 1st / 2nd / 3rd Party Verification?

GSC16-PLEN-53

Canadian ActivitiesCanadian Activities• ≈ 30 ISO/IEC JTC 1 standards identified by

Smart Grid Interoperability Panel being adopted• Positioned to adopt international standards

related to Smart Grid• Established a national Task Force on Smart Grid• Evaluating potential service offerings in addition

to standards (i.e. safety, interoperability, and performance testing, training and education)

ISACC Proposal to reviseISACC Proposal to reviseGSC-15 Resolution 29 - Smart GridGSC-15 Resolution 29 - Smart Grid

• Add a new sentence to “Recognizing”:Recognizing:

h) that economies of scale can be derived from standardized

equipment using harmonized spectrum.

• Add three words to point #1 in “Resolves” :Resolves:

1. to encourage ongoing cooperation and collaboration among national, regional and international activities that relate to standardization and spectrum harmonization for the Smart Grid, including not only ICT, but also the energy sector;

GSC16-PLEN-53


NIST (National Institute of Standards & Technology)

• Smart Grid Framework & Road Map (2010)• Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security (2010)• Initial set of standards recommended to federal

regulator were IEC standards developed by TC57 Power System Management & Information Exchange

10


GSC16-PLEN-53


SGIP (Smart Grid Interoperability Panel)• Extensive List of Standards Identified & Under Review

– Significant references to IEC and IEEE standards– Reference also to ITU and ETI– Work progressing on Priority Action Plans– Industry specifications in addition to SDO-developed standards

• Testing & Certification Committee– Process Reference Manual (Verification of Interoperability)

11


GSC16-PLEN-53


IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)• Smart Grid Strategic Group (SG3) • Smart Grid Standardization Roadmap (2010)• Smart Grid Standards Mapping Solution (in development)

– Position any given standard in relation to its role in the Smart Grid– Identify possible interactions with other standards– Provides list of the standards relevant to subsystems of the

smart grid.

• Several Technical Committees Active on Smart Grid

12


GSC16-PLEN-53


ISO/IEC JTC1 – Information Technology• Extensive set of standards on interconnection and IT

security (Subcommittees 25 and 27).• Adaptable for Smart Grid (avoid duplication)• Several under review by SGIP

• Approximately 1000 ISO/IEC JTC1 standards adopted by CSA as National Standards of Canada

CSA ROLE IN DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF CSA ROLE IN DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF CANADA’S ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURECANADA’S ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Canadian Electrical Code Part I• Specifies requirements for electrical installations• First edition published in 1927• Adopted by provincial and territorial authorities across

Canada

Canadian Electrical Code Part II• Over 500 electrical safety product standards on

industrial, commercial & residential electrical equipment• Used in 3rd party conformance acceptance

14


GSC16-PLEN-53


Canadian Electrical Code Part III• Covers electrical utility generation, transmission &

distribution systems and equipment• First equipment standards published in 1920• First system standards published in 1940

15


GSC16-PLEN-53


Related CSA standards programs that support the advancement of the electricity infrastructure.

• Energy Efficiency & Performance • Renewable Energy• Information Technology Standards (ISO/IEC JTC1)• Nuclear Standards • Alternative Energy Vehicles- Electric Vehicles• Occupational health & safety

CSA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLESCSA STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

• Adopt international or regional standards where feasible rather than developing unique Canadian standards.

• Integration of national standards committees with Canadian Subcommittees to IEC.

• Open & inclusive process with opportunity for input from stakeholders.

• Decisions made by consensus by committees with balance of representation from stakeholder interests.

Vision for Smart Grid - standards based on international standards and harmonized across North America.
