Technical professional association IEEE, US, has announced that IEEE 2030 - IEEE Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information Technology Operation with the Electric Power System (EPS), End-Use Applications, and Loads - has been approved and published. IEEE 2030 seeks to establish a globally relevant Smart Grid interoperability reference model and knowledge base. This can be used by utilities who are developing their infrastructure roadmaps, manufacturers who are planning Smart Grid systems and applications, scientists who are conducting research, governments who are crafting regulations, and by standards-development organisations (SDOs) who are writing additional standards for the Smart Grid.
IEEE 2030 is available for purchase at IEEE Standards Store. It is projected to provide alternative approaches and best practices for Smart Grid work worldwide and define terminology, characteristics, functional performance and evaluation criteria and the application of engineering principles for Smart Grid interoperability of the EPS with end-use applications and loads. Additionally, it defines design tables and the classification of data-flow characteristics necessary for interoperability, with emphasis on functional interface identification, logical connections and data flows, communications and linkages, digital information management, cyber-security and power generation usage.
Work has already commenced on three IEEE 2030 extensions - IEEE P2030.1, IEEE P2030.2 and IEEE P2030.3.
