Smart Grid – A U.S. National Priority
“It is the policy of the United States to support the
modernization of the Nation's electricity [system]…
to achieve…a Smart Grid.” Congress, EISA 2007
“We’ll fund a better, smarter electricity
grid and train workers to build it…”
President Barack Obama
“To meet the energy challenge and create a 21st
century energy economy, we need a 21st century
electric grid…” Secretary of Energy Steven Chu
“A smart electricity grid will revolutionize the way we use energy, but
we need standards …” Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke

NIST Role in Standards for the Smart Grid
•
Under Title XIII, Section 1305 of EISA, NIST has
“primary responsibility to coordinate development of a
framework that includes protocols and model standards
for information management to achieve interoperability
of smart grid devices and systems…”
•
Congress directed that the framework be “flexible, uniform,
and technology neutral”
•
Use of these standards is a criteria for DoE Smart Grid
