Draft NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 4.0 is now available for download
It's good to see the NIST Smart Grid initiative continues to provide useful and timely guidance to the energy industry. Note the increased focus on DER and cybersecurity in this version.
Draft NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 4.0 is now available for download
The Draft NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 4.0 is now available for download. NIST welcomes your input on its fourth framework which informs America's development of the smart grid. Notably, Framework 4.0: • Updates the smart grid domains, which now include the "Generation with Distributed Energy Resource Domain," and new communication pathway scenarios. • Assesses physical interoperability for the smart grid, and the transition from analog to digital systems. • Addresses interoperability's potential benefits for all stakeholders. • Provides a roadmap leading to smart grid interoperability including testing and certification and Interoperability Profiles. • Informs smart grid cybersecurity, detailing approaches to risk management and providing an understanding of specific interface characteristics and security requirements. Inputs can be sent to smartgridframework@nist.gov. Your input will help NIST produce a final published version of the Framework, as part of its consensus building process. Ultimately, these inputs will help enable us to identify the needs of the smart grid community and promote progress towards meeting America’s energy needs.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
