The IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) and SAE International have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership in vehicular technology related to the Smart Grid. With this initiative, IEEE-SA and SAE International are striving to create a more efficient and collaborative standards-development environment for the industry participants that they serve.
Both SAE International and IEEE-SA have made significant contributions in standards in areas such as plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications and power and the Smart Grid. SAE International Ground Vehicle Standards Technical Committees are leading the vehicle transportation industry in the development of standards to provide safer processes and practices for effective implementation of hybrid/electric vehicles. A total of 24 SAE International Ground Vehicle electrification committees with over 780 members have devloped 46 standards and are currently working on over 30 new standards in process.
IEEE has more than 100 standards and standards in development relevant to the Smart Grid, including more than 20 named in the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards. Under terms of the MOU signed by IEEE-SA and SAE International in February 2011, each organisation will share its draft standards related to the Smart Grid and vehicle electricification for input from the other.
