This document is a guide to users of IEEE Std 2030™-2011, IEEE Guide for Smart Grid Interoperability of Energy Technology and Information Technology Operation with the Electric Power System (EPS), End-Use Applications, and Loads.6 It provides guidance in applying the smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM) of IEEE Std 2030-2011 in the development of control and automation components. This guide outlines approaches to defining the requirements for control and automation applications within the electric power infrastructure, and describing their design, while adhering to a common open architecture.
Because components of the smart grid are acquired and developed by many different parties, the control and automation systems should be developed according to an open architecture that enables the introduction of common functions across multiple systems and platforms in a way that achieves high levels of modularity, extensibility, portability, and scalability. This guide provides industry-wide common approaches to the design, implementation and life cycle management of smart grid control and automation systems, in a manner that promotes conformance to the smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM), hence reducing the number of infrastructures that might otherwise result from competing architectures. Additionally, this recommended practice facilitates the following:–Modular design and design description,–Reusable application software,–Interoperable control and automation applications,–Secure information exchange,–Life cycle affordability, and–Competition and collaboration. This guide supports its users by giving them guidance in the selection or development of computational capabilities, information systems, networks, protocols, frameworks, middleware, resource management, software and operating systems, using both established and evolving industry standards. Standard practices are leveraged to enhance interoperability, operational effectiveness, and the ability to insert future technologies
New IEEE Standard – Active. The smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM) was developed in IEEE Std 2030™-2011 for systems that integrate, among other assets, distributed energy resources (DER). DER management systems (DERMS) and microgrid controllers are examples of such systems applied in this guide. In the process of applying the SGIRM-2011, elements were added to reflect the changes that have occurred since 2011 in electric grids. These include the increasing deployment of DER both at the distribution system and, when aggregated, at the transmission system, the increasing role of electricity markets, and business and environmental considerations in their deployment. These elements were added to the SGIRM. The SGIRM defines three integrated architectural perspectives (IAP): power systems, communications and information technology, and business and regulatory requirements. The SGIRM facilitates the implementation of interoperability requirements by establishing relationships between elements of the complete installation, regrouped within IAPs, and by identifying the relevant and applicable standards and rules. The SGIRM can be used to complement design approaches for individual elements of a system and facilitates extensibility, scalability, and upgradeability.
