Chair: David Wollman.
The BnP DEWG assists both business decision-makers and regulatory policy-makers to develop informed policies advancing Smart Grid interoperability objectives. This in-person meeting will include updates regarding recent BnP activities, notable regulatory proceedings and other policy developments. These updates will include summaries of recent activities related to Transactive Energy and notable regulatory initiatives in at state commissions including New York, California, Texas and other states. Updates will also include highlights from the recent NARUC Annual Meetings and special guests from the local energy community.The role of SGIP DRGS and PAP 7 in coordinating development of interoperable standards for DER Interconnection and Testing will be reviewed. The use of DER interconnection standards and need for advancement due to rapidly increasing DER penetration and inverter functionality will be presented, and an update will be given on ongoing and completed DER interconnection standards projects. The Use Case development needed to define operation and information exchange related to these new standards will also be introduced. The accelerating development of interconnection standards also requires corresponding development of specifications for conformance tests, implementation, and interoperability. The landscape of current practices for DER test and implementation will be reviewed, and an update will be given on ongoing test and implementation standards and codes development projects. The session will conclude with an open discussion of how the interrelation of interconnection, testing and implementation standards and codes may change in response to the transition to high penetration of DER and increase use of power-electronic (e.g., smart inverter) interconnection equipment.

It has developed processes, as embodied in its Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM), that provide approaches and best practices for industry test programs that focus on interoperability, and promotes widespread adoption of such programs.
The meeting will cover:
1) Process for codifying the IPRM Version 3 as a standard
2) Status update on PAP23 activities
3) Update and discussion of the Catalog of Test Programs (CoTP)
4) Discussion regarding restart of the Catalog of Standards (CoS) review working group
5) Discussion to support development of a prioritized SGTCC work plan for 2015Chair: John Caskey, Vice Chair: Steve Widergren - TC is responsible for providing the strategic direction for the SGIP technical activities. In addition, the TC manages the creation, maintenance and execution of the entire PAP (Priority Action Plan) process, inclusion of documents in the COS (Catalog of Standards), the Program Management Office (PMO) functions and the operation of the Standing Member Committees and the Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs). The meeting will begin with the administrative portion of the TC meeting and then follow with a discussion of SGIP technical strategy, gaps and issues discussed by the SGIP Board. This session is open to all members.
Chair: Martin Burns, NIST. We have made substantial progress on two key use cases – “Approaching Storm to Microgrid” and “A storm is coming through a city”. We will discuss these two Use Cases in Portland. Each Use Case demands the integration and analysis of weather/environmental/climate data from multiple sources and across domains. In addition we will begin to discuss a mapping spreadsheet that compares the key weather standards based on the data groupings of Analogs, CodedValues, Phenomena, Metadata, Alerts, and Geometry. The Use Cases along with the mapping spreadsheet, when complete, will provide the basis of the requirements output of the PAP.
Learn how SGIP and XBRL US are harmonizing data to promote interoperability with construction and financial service industries for their development of improved systems, products and services specifically tailored to the energy industry and for building the nation’s Smart Grid with interoperability.
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, which created of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel, was intended to promote the creation of new energy sources by exploring ways to promote interoperability and best practices for transitioning the nation’s energy infrastructure into an open buyers and sellers marketplace. A Smart Grid where entrepreneurial stakeholders of any size could develop new energy generation facilities and related products and services with the confidence established by SGIP standards.
When the Green Button data standard was first introduced by SGIP only a handful of applications existed that could utilize the “Data Set” to provide users with information that could improve their energy usage. Now there are almost 70, each enabled by the SGIP standardized Green Button Data Set.
Originally referred to as the “Next Green Button Data Set” PAP25 was inspired by the number and variety of innovative applications made possible by SGIP formally establishing the “Green Button Data Set” for energy usage data.
PAP25 seeks to replicate that SGIP success in promoting interoperability, innovation and competition by establishing SGIP Data Sets for building energy related facilities, utilizing XBRL.
Attendees will learn:
What is XBRL, and what is a Taxonomy.
How can publicly traded utilities that have already been mandated to implement the XBRL data standard for reporting to the SEC use that IT investment beyond just corporate financial reporting.
How SGIP/XBRL Data Sets are being established by the XBRL-CET working group, and what the potential is for energy related activities.
Examples will be an energy related construction company “Work on Hand” Data Set and CALISO Queue Report Data Set in XBRL that are interoperable with project developers, utilities, regulatory agencies, lenders, insurance and surety companies.
How the Data Sets can potentially harmonize with other standards like AcordXML for insurance, agcXML for construction and IEP XML for solar.
How SGIP/XBRL and PAP25 can help secure compliance with the DATA Act for those entities that receive federal funding.
How SGIP/XBRL and PAP25 are engaging in a national discussion for a Smart Grid where entrepreneurial stakeholders of any size could develop new energy generation facilities and related products and services with the confidence established by SGIP standards.

Chair: Ron Cunningham. The SGAC via AWP is currently working on vetting and identifying voids in a set of architectural entities (e.g. actors, services) to help form a common set of vocabulary for use in future business use case, conceptual/logical architecture, and standards development. This effort includes categorizing these entities as to architectural hierarchy levels (conceptual, logical, physical) along with mapping them to the smart grid domains and SGAM zones. AWP also continues to work with other industry and international groups in clarifying and extending architectural frameworks and associated models. This meeting will refine the set of actors/roles to ensure consistency and completeness with US and international standards.
Chair: David Holmberg, Vice-chair: Dave Hardin. B2G DEWG examines issues which enable commercial buildings to participate in energy markets and perform effective energy conservation and management. I2G DEWG addresses interaction between the grid and industrial facilities, including power generation. This joint meeting will include an update on U.S. and international standardization for SGIP standards (FSGIM, Energy Interoperation, OpenADR and SEP), review of the update SGIP Commercial and Industrial (C&I) Roadmap, discussion of a TE Roadmap, and discussion of Energy/Water/Environment issues within the C&I industry.
“Standardization of a Utility Field Message Bus”
Stuart Laval, Manager, Technology Development, Duke Energy
Duke Energy has developed a “Distributed Intelligence Platform (DIP)”. It is equivalent to an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for the utility. The core of this reference architecture is an open API field message bus, which communicates with operations technology devices and systems in the distribution system, including legacy systems. The architecture enables peer-to-peer device communications at the “edges” of the distribution system, thus providing lower latency functionality. As part of its “Coalition of the Willing” program, Duke Energy has successfully tested the architecture’s functionality for the following smart grid use cases: solar smoothing, community energy storage, and voltage management. This case study presentation describes the DIP architecture, provides some use case results, and offers some interoperability “lessons learned” from the program to date.
Chair: James Reilly. This group addresses the full range of issues that define microgrids within the power delivery system. This meeting will discuss these issues in the context of the DRGS and the new Microgrid PAP-24. The agenda will focus on the interaction of the microgrid with the distribution utility, information exchange and standards.
Chair: Erich Gunther. PAP-23: IEC 61850 testing profiles will hold a working meeting to continue the technical work of the group that is underway. A brief introduction will be provided at the start of the session for new attendees to help encourage their engagement and participation moving forward. The main focus of the meeting will be in the review and update of the preliminary Basic Application Profile (BAP) template that has been created along with the high level requirements for distribution feeder measurement.
