Re: [STDS-802-24] Ask The Expert Webinar Announcement: Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, Version 2 (NISTIR 7761) - Thursday, June 12 1-1:30 pm

Geoff,

Interesting timing. At yesterday's meeting here in Genève we reviewed the ITU-T "contributions" to the ITU-R WP1A. Those contributions dealt with PLT technologies and the difficulty in implementation of them if they are to reach speeds equivalent to what wireless in general and wired systems such as DSL can provide.

The feeling of the group was that wired systems do have a role in Smart Grid but PLT is proving too costly and difficult at this time for telecommunications operators to implement. You will recall that 802's contribution to this meeting included Ethernet and that was very well received.

Bottom line here in answering the ITU-R Smart Grid question is yes, wireline has a role to play. The meeting did not feel that consumers would be surfing the internet via their Smart Grid connection regardless of the medium used.

Best regards from chilly Genève,

Mike

Matt-

Thanks for stepping up to this issue.
I would appreciate it if you would include in your question why the assessment is only directed towards wireless standards.
I sincerely doubt that:
- Smart Grid will not use any communications channels that are based on wired connections
- That Smart Grid has no more decisions to make regarding what wired connection means will be used
- That Smart Grid has no more decisions to make in terms of deciding the suitability of wired vs. wireless.

Best regards,

Geoff Thompson

Bill,
 
I plan to be on this call,  I would appreciate others supporting me when I ask why 802.any standards are not explicitly included in the SGIP CoS.
 
Thanks

“Ask the Expert” Webinar 
Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, Version 2 (NISTIR 7761)

Thursday, June 12, 1-1:30pm ET

Registration: Register to attend and receive information by sending an email to: billie.zidek@xxxxxxxx. The number of available lines are limited so please register early.

 

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.
