THE SGIP
The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) is a membership-based organization established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and administered by its members, as facilitated by a NIST contractor. It provides an open process for stakeholders to participate in providing input and cooperating with NIST in the ongoing coordination, acceleration and harmonization of standards development for the Smart Grid. The SGIP reviews use cases, identifies requirements and architectural reference models, coordinates and accelerates Smart Grid testing and certification, and proposes action plans for achieving these goals. The SGIP does not write standards, but serves as a forum to coordinate the development of standards and specifications by many Standards Setting Organizations (SSOs).
