As an Industry, We Should Strive to Stop Creating Our Own “Tower of Babel” For Data Integration The Problem with Uncoordinated Standards Initiatives-Each has its Own Vocabulary and Disparate Approach Mobile Workforce Mgmt AM/FM/GIS Asset Planning Protection SCADA Network Planning Risk Analysis Work Mgmt Market Interface Outage Management Maintenance & Inspection Customer Information Demand Response Compliance B2C, Automated Data Exchange HR Financial Network Management

4. GIS OMS CIS Integration Infrastructure AMR DMS WMS Goal: To The Maximum Reasonable Extent,Interface Standards Should Be Based on Common Semantics (e.g., CIM) to Avoid Adding to ‘Integration Anarchy’ Without Common Semantics, Point-to-Point Integration Will Continue at the Data Level • Integration anarchy is a chaos of: • (1) duplicated logic, • (2) duplicated data, • (3) duplicated effort, • (4) newly acquired integration difficulties, • (5) lack of ability to easily create new application functionality from • services, and • (6) lack of ability to support business processes with applications • Integration anarchy will result in higher costs and an inflexible, brittle ‘Smart Grid System’

5. AMI-Ent is a user-driven organization that starts with standards and extends them in an efficient and quick manner to meet current utility project requirements. • Appropriate extensions are fed back through the CIM User Group and/or directly to the IEC. • Artifacts of this organization are from the utility integration point-of-view, which is a superset of the application/product-oriented point-of-view of the generic IEC interfaces. http://ucaiug.org/ http://osgug.ucaiug.org/ http://cimug.ucaiug.org/ TC57 WG14 http://www.iec.ch/dyn/www/f?p=102:7:0::::FSP_ORG_ID:1273 An Example of How The IEC and Utilities are Collaborating to Define Interface Standards Based on Common Semantics IEC Strategic Group on Smart Grid (SG3) IEC TC8 Contextual Framework Business Requirements / Use Cases • IEC is the SDO for the Electric Industry • SG3  is the Standard Management Board  arm that defines what IEC is doing for the SmartGrid. This is translated into a framework. • TC8 is developing standards at the Utility needs and requirements level and collaborates with the other TCs that are developing technical specifications standards. • TC57 is responsible for power system management and associated information exchange. • WG14 (of TC57) is responsible for utility enterprise information exchange standards using the Common Information Model (CIM) IEC TCs • The UCA (Utility Communications Architecture) User Group is dedicated to promoting the integration and interoperability of electric/gas/water utility. It is the User Community for all TC57 standards and other related users concerns. • The CIM User Group is a fast growing organization of CIM users that provide important feedback and suggestions to the SDO. • OpenSG Subcommittee is responsible for: (a) rationalization of standard-setting organizations to ensure that technical standards are developed with independence, transparency and broad industry representation and (b) ensuring Testing Standards and Certification Guidelines are defined and support functional and timing requirements of industry initiatives and evolution • The ZigBee & HomePlug Smart Energy Alliance is currently sponsoring an activity to update its Smart Energy Profile to take advantage of the standard and technology neutral CIM. • This work is planned to be proposed to become a new part in the IEC 61968 series of standards.

6. From The OpenHAN System Requirements Specification Smart Energy Profile 2.0 & IEC TC57 WG14 Area of Focus At The Home

7. The ZigBee+HomePlug Technical Working Group Application Sub-Group • Scope and Charter: • Is tasked with building an application layer standard for a HAN which allows energy applications to communicate with edge energy devices over an external network (AMI, broadband Internet, etc.) core using a common API and set of objects.  • Is concerned with services and communications localized to a single HAN and those that enable communications to and from the HAN.  • Shall use the ZigBee Smart Energy Profile as the forward starting point and its work shall be mapped to IEC 61968 (CIM) and any gaps identified. 

9. The AMI Enterprise Task Force • Scope and Charter • Defines requirements, policies, and services • Based on utility industry standards such as the Common Information Model (CIM) • Required for information exchange and control between the MDMS or MDUS and enterprise back office systems.
