“Ask the Expert” Webinar Thursday, June 12, 1-1:30pm ET
Abstract: Priority Action Plan (PAP)-02, Wireless Communications, was assigned a very big and broad assignment—“to develop guidelines for the use of wireless communications in a Smart Grid environment” in August 2009. After nearly four years, PAP-02 finalized and approved its key deliverable, Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, Version 2 (NISTIR 7761). The advanced applications and widespread use now foreseen for the Smart Grid require highly reliable, secure, well designed, and managed communication networks. Both utilities and network technologists need guidance and tools to provide answers to the question: “How well does wireless technology, X, support application requirements, Y?” NISTIR 7761, Version 2 provides updates to the Smart Grid conceptual model and business functional requirements and use cases to reflect the continued progress of work in SGIP and UCAIug. The previous template of wireless technology characteristics, attributes, and performance parameters has been updated and practical considerations in the deployment of wireless networks for Smart Grid applications describes trade-offs and the challenges faced when deploying Smart Grid communications networks.
Why You Should Attend: The comprehensive and detailed sets of requirements will be tremendously valuable to both the user and network technology communities in order to better understand the Smart Grid landscape. The use of these requirements is not only limited to wireless technologies, but they can also be used for evaluating any communication technology, be it wireless or wired. Recognizing that every environment is different and every user requirement may pose additional constraints and challenges to the network designer, this approach is more useful because it is universal. Proof of concept examples are also included in this document in order to further illustrate the concepts described and make it easier for users to develop their own evaluations. |
