The document discusses the smart grid and home energy management systems. It begins with an overview of key drivers for the smart grid like utilities seeking more customer information, consumers wanting pricing and demand response data, and governments promoting environmental benefits. It then discusses regulatory bodies and standards organizations that are involved in smart grid development as well as technologies that enable the smart grid like smart meters, home area networks, and demand response. Finally, it covers home energy management systems and their role in enabling consumer control of energy use.

2. Topics!
â⯠The Smart GridâWhat Is It? Why Is It?!
â⯠Regulatory and Standards Landscape!
â⯠Home Energy Management Systems!
â⯠Further Background!
7. Freedom From Foreign Oil!
â˘âŻ The goal of 2007âs Energy Independence and
Security Act (EISA 2007) is âto move the United
States toward greater energy independence and
security, to increase the production of clean
renewable fuels, to protect consumers, to increase
the efficiency of products, buildings, and vehicles, to
promote research on and deploy greenhouse gas
capture and storage options, and to improve the
energy performance of the Federal Government, and
for other purposesâ!
8. EISA 2007!
â˘âŻ Main goal is to eliminate dependence on foreign oil!
â˘âŻ Provides significant incentives for plug-in and hybrid
electric vehicles!
â˘âŻ Increases Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE)
standardsâ35 mpg fleet-wide by 2020!
â˘âŻ Requires 25% better efficiency for light bulbs by
2012 (effectively eliminating incandescent bulbs)
and 200% better efficiency by 2020!
â˘âŻ And porkâŚgotta have pork!
â˘âŻ All of which means SMART GRID!!
9. What the Smart Grid is NOT!
â˘âŻ NOT a smart meter!
â⯠NOT Automated Meter Reading (AMR)!
â⯠NOT Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)!
â˘âŻ NOT the Home Area Network!
â⯠NOT ZigBee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, 900 MHz, Bluetooth, or WiMAX!
â⯠NOT Ethernet, HomePlug, HomeGrid, MoCA, or HomePNA!
â˘âŻ NOT a bunch of other technologies and capabilities,
all of which are are components of the Smart Grid!
â˘âŻ Tonight, weâll talk about the Smart Grid from inside
the meter!
10. What the Smart Grid IS!
â˘âŻ Provides quality power meeting 21st century needs!
â˘âŻ Accommodates all generation and storage options!
â˘âŻ Enables new products, services, and markets!
â˘âŻ Provides operational resilience against physical and
cyber attacks!
â˘âŻ Optimizes asset utilization and operating efficiency!
â˘âŻ Enables active participation by consumers in
demand response!
A digitized and intelligent version of the current power grid!
Adapted from IEEE P2030!
11. Key Smart Grid Drivers!
â˘âŻ Utilities want more information from customers to
better forecast how generation will meet actual
demand!
â˘âŻ Consumers need real-time, appliance-level pricing
and demand response information, from utilities and
from third parties, in order to alter behavior, save
money, and go green!
â˘âŻ Governments want to encourage realization of
environmental benefits by reducing noxious
emissions (and votesâŚdefinitely votes)!
â˘âŻ One key capabilityâDemand Response (DR)!
12. Demand Response!
â˘âŻ âReduction in the consumption of electric energy by customers
from their expected consumption in response to an increase in
the price of electric energy or to incentive payments designed
to induce lower consumption of electric energyâ!
â˘âŻ Dispatchable!
â⯠Customer alters consumption due to direction from someone else!
â⯠Includes rebates, compensation, and direct load control of
appliances!
â˘âŻ Non-dispatchable!
â⯠Customer alters consumption based on retail rate design that
changes over time!
â⯠Includes time-of-use (TOU) pricing!
From FERC Order 719!
13. How Will We Get There?!
â˘âŻ Government and regulatory!
â⯠NIST, FERC, NARUC, DoE, States, ETSI, CEN, et.al.!
â˘âŻ Standards Development Organizations!
â⯠IEEE, ITU, ISO, IEC!
â˘âŻ Industry!
â⯠OpenSG, SAE, AHAM, SEP!
â˘âŻ Many, many other standards, regulatory, policy, and
grass roots effortsâincluding the Green Technology
Organization of Greater Chicago and Citizens Utility
Board!
14. Government & Regulatory!
â˘âŻ National Institute of Standards & Technology!
â˘âŻ Federal Energy Regulatory Commission!
â˘âŻ National Association of Regulatory Utility
Commissioners!
â˘âŻ Department of Energy!
â˘âŻ Individual States!
15. NIST!
â˘âŻ According to EISA 2007, NIST has "primary responsibility to coordinate
development of a framework that includes protocols and model
standards for information management to achieve interoperability of
smart grid devices and systemsâŚâ!
â˘âŻ Smart Grid Interoperability Panel & Governing Board (SGIP/GB)!
â⯠620 Member Organizations!
â⯠25 member governance committee !
â˘âŻ Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs)!
â⯠Provide analysis in particular application domains; longer-term horizon!
â⯠Identify gaps and overlaps!
â⯠Develop use cases and white papers!
â˘âŻ Priority Action Plans (PAPs)!
â⯠Address gaps where standards (or extensions) are needed; shorter-term
horizon (think tiger team)!
â⯠Try to disambiguate when multiple standards overlap!

â˘âŻ VISION!
â⯠GTO will be the leading organization of Green Technology
awareness and initiatives bringing the required knowledge and
capabilities to the community and businesses.!
â˘âŻ MISSION!
â⯠Being Green is no longer a nice-to-have or a future-think; it is a
mandate for the here and now, and as such individuals, businesses,
schools, government bodies and all establishments need a better
understanding of what being Green is and how and what to
implement to achieve a more eco-friendly life/business.!
â⯠To meet these needs of the Greater Chicago area the Green
Technology Organization (GTO) of Greater Chicago has been
formed as a not-for-profit organization focused on advancing the
knowledge of members, businesses and the general public through
networking, education and improving the visibility of green
technology businesses within the region.!
