The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), US, has announced the launch of the IEEE P2030.2 Working Group (WG). Tasked with facilitating wide-scale, consistent implementation of energy storage systems, the P2030.2 WG will deliver guidelines for discrete and hybrid energy storage systems that are integrated into the electric power infrastructure.
P2030.2 will build on overall Smart Grid interoperability topics being covered in IEEE Standard P2030, the industry's first cross-discipline guideline for smart grid interoperability for the power engineering, communications and information technology industries. The P2030.2 WG will develop a guideline for discrete and hybrid energy storage systems that are integrated with the electric power infrastructure, including end-use applications and loads. The 'Guide for the Interoperability of Energy Storage Systems Integrated with the Electric Power Infrastructure' is expected to help users achieve greater understanding of energy storage systems by defining technical characteristics. It will also illustrate how discrete and hybrid systems may be successfully integrated with and used compatibly as part of the electric power infrastructure.
The standard fills the need for guidance relevant to a knowledge base addressing terminology, functional performance, evaluation criteria, operations, testing, and the application of engineering principles for energy storage systems integrated with electric power architectures and systems.
The P2030.2 WG is a priority extension of work being conducted by the P2030 Smart Grid Interoperability WG, which is meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, beginning October 26, 2010. The four-day gathering is focused on comment resolution and writing assignments for critical sections of the 'IEEE Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information Technology Operation with the Electric Power System (EPS), and End-Use Applications and Loads (P2030)' leading to the final stages of consensus building and balloting expected in 2011. When completed, this standard will be the foundational, system-of-systems level guide serving as a knowledge base with essential information on terminology, characteristics, functional performance and evaluation criteria, and the application of engineering principles for Smart Grid interoperability of electric power systems.
