General Background: PAP2 in SGIP

• Smart Grid Interoperability Panel Priority Action Plan 2 works on wireless technologies for smart grid

• In January 2011, PAP2 approved a document summarizing its work in 2010, “Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications.”

– Guidelines’ main content is a discussion of wireless air interface modeling– Specific technology performance in that document is from the respective SDOs in

the Annex A through E: Wi-Fi, LTE, HSPA, cdma2000, and WiMAX

• In 2011, PAP has been focusing on the evaluation of wireless technologies– In the SGIP Catalog of Standards, none of the cellular standards have been

“identified.” cdma2000 1x and HRPD are listed under the “under review” section.

Wireless Technology Evaluation in PAP2: Wireless SDOs

• The PAP2 SDO subcommittee, consisting of representatives from IEEE 802.11, ATIS, TIA TR45.5, and WiMAX Forum, continues to develop technology assessment methodology

– The group meets every Monday 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. PST – The goal of this group is to update the NIST IR 7761 Guidelines for Assessing

Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, with a focus on the wireless communication aspects

– SDO subcommittee reports progress to PAP2 during biweekly PAP2 calls

• Recent focus of the PAP2 SDO subcommittee is to complete chapters 4, 5, and 6 of the guideline document

– Chapter 4: wireless technology descriptions correspond to “Wireless Functionality and Characteristic Matrix for the Identification of Smart Grid Domain Applications”

– Chapter 5: wireless technology evaluation method that includes an initial screening and refinements to the screening using a combination of analysis, simulation, and/or testbed in the field.

– Chapter 6: Performance metric and associated considerations3

Status of Guideline Development

• Chapter 4– 90+% complete– Pending final review of the text by the group– No plan for resubmitting the matrix

• Chapter 5 – It has gone through several updates but still needs detailed review– Estimated at 50% completion – Target to be completed by end of 2011 but expected to be delayed

• Chapter 6 – Preliminary stage– Due to the need for alignment with Chapters 5 and the Annexes, its update

has been delayed– Additional details on the spectrum allocation and options in the US is

considered• The modeling tool is awaiting completion of Chapters 4 and 5.
