Description / Abstract:
This document provides guidelines for smart grid
interoperability. It also provides a knowledge base addressing
terminology, characteristics, functional performance and evaluation
criteria, and the application of engineering principles for smart
grid interoperability of the electric power system (EPS) with
end-use applications and loads. The guide discusses alternate
approaches to good practices for the Smart Grid.
Purpose
This document provides guidelines in understanding and defining
smart grid interoperability of the EPS with end-use applications
and loads. Integration of energy technology and information and
communications technology (ICT) is necessary to achieve seamless
operation for electric generation, delivery, and end-use benefits
to permit two-way power flow with communication and control.
Interconnection and intra-facing frameworks and strategies with
design definitions are addressed in this guide, providing guidance
in expanding the current knowledge base. This expanded knowledge
base is needed as a key element in grid architectural designs and
operation to promote a more reliable and flexible EPS.
