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:

2

Smart Grid = Electrical Grid + Intelligence

3

Interoperability requires reliable standards and validated performance

Combining electrical and communication grids requires interoperability

Smart Grid Testing & Certification Committee (SGTCC)

SGTCC focuses on three areas:

Identifying and addressing testing needs and priorities, particularly from the perspective of utilities

Support for emerging and existing Smart Grid test programs

Outreach and Education on Testing

Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM)

• Enables adoption of consistent and measureable certification and testing policies/procedures across Smart Grid products using standards based on conformance, interoperability and cybersecurity testing experienceBased on ISO/IEC 17025 and Guide 65Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is included

IPRM User Guide

• The SGTCC determines that there is a need toprovide guidance to organizations to helpthem develop and implement programs thatalign with the expectations cited in the IPRM.

• Being developed is a User’s Guide thatcontains an overview of the IPRM, how toorganize the IPRM requirements, and identifysuggested best practices for anInteroperability Testing and CertificationAuthority (ITCA) in launching its program.

SGIP merger with SEPA

Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA)Present SEPA focus View:When combining distributed energy resources with grid modernization efforts, you create a smart, robust and responsive electricity grid. But what does “smart” mean? Smart energy has a variety of connotations, especially in the electric utilities industry. Up until now, smart has been used primarily to describe technology. But technology is only one piece of a much bigger picture. These technologies must be deployed in intelligent ways and as part of an overall plan that accounts for elements like:

Consumer preferencesSystem level benefitsGrid managementRegulatory oversightStandards and interoperabilityOther elements

SGIP merger with SEPAMerger effective 30 March 2017—the combined organization is called SEPA (SGIP will be dropped).

Membership--The merged entity has three classes of members:Utility Corporate Government/Non-Profit/Education

• All members in good standing of the two entities will be placed in the appropriate category of membershipFor 2017 entities that are members of both organizations will be invoiced for both memberships. A new dues schedule will be determined in 2017 to take effect in 2018

.Programs--SEPA will continue SGIP programs and embrace SGIP focus areas

EMIIWG Charter Work Topics

* Evaluate EM phenomena issues on SG reliability— extent and severity

* Specific EMC SG device test setups with SG data being transferred

* Review existing state of EMC of Power Grid—current and future enhancements

* Evaluate impact of high power EM threats such as HEMP, IEMI, Geomagnetic storms

EMIIWG Charter topics

* Assess need for conformity assessment program for SG EMC test programs

* Produce a guide for SG product performance during and after EMC tests

* Take into account the added complexity of multiple communications protocols

* Develop a long term strategy to maintain EMC as SG evolves

EMIIWG Charter topics

* How to deal with disturbance and immunity effects of multiple clusters of Smart meters such as on the side of an apartment building

* Participate on standardization processes such as the Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM)

EMIIWG Activity for 2016

Evaluate EM phenomena issues on SG reliability—extent and severityExtent:

Do creditable reports exist of SG problems?Do “hot spots” exist where most SG problems occur such as at power substationsWhat are the problems?Are SG interoperability failures localized or spread across the grid served by a single power generation source.

EMIIWG Activity for 2016

Evaluate EM phenomena issues on SG reliability—extent and severity

SeverityEmploy IEC 61000-2-5 on EM environmentsGather data on immunity test levels that adversely affect SG devicesIntroduce severity of High Power PulsesDecide how to take into account the increase in severity levels if multiple immunity exposures occur

ConclusionsElectromagnetic Interoperability Issues Working Group– Continues to raise awareness for the need to incorporate

EMC guidance and standards into the design of the Smart Grid

– Working to include EMC into the testing and certifications process for Smart Grid systems.

Testing and Certification Committee– Focuses on assembling the catalog of testing standards for

use in Smart Grid program with an accompanied certification activity

– Importance of the User Guide for the IPRM– EMC testing naturally fits into their work and hence close

cooperation with EMIIWG.

Thank you for your attention
