Re: [oasis-charter-discuss] (energy-interop) What relationship to DOE OE?

Hi Bill,

I guess what I'm really wondering is whether the 
DOE will use the specifications developed by OASIS, or if they are off inventing 
their own communication protocols for the Smart Grid?  Is DOE signed on to 
participate in this process and use the results?

Energy Interoperation fits well with 
  the Modern Grid Initiative from the DOE/OE; the Modern Grid work has a number 
  of similarities with the work of the GridWise Architecture Council, with which 
  this charter fits well.

Demand Response (DR, the last two letters of 
  AutoDR, the TC's base specification) is very important to DOE and FERC in the 
  broader context of the smarter grid, and helps (with proper aggregation) to 
  enable treating of curtailment resources as (in effect) alternate generation 
  resources.

I don't have all the references to hand right now, but there 
  is definitely a relationship there as well as to the DR aspects of the NIST 
  Smart Grid Standards Roadmap project, in progress.

Excellent point; the 
  section 2 material should be updated to reflect 
  this.

Thanks!

  I read 
    the proposed charter for the Energy Interoperation TC but I don't see any 
    mention of the Department of Energy's Office of Electricity Delivery and 
    Energy Reliability. That office received $4.5 billion from the American 
    Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. From their website: 

"As 
    outlined in the legislation, these funds are an investment in a nationwide 
    plan to modernize the electric grid, enhance security of U.S. energy 
    infrastructure and ensure reliable electricity delivery to meet growing 
    demand. This represents a significant increase in the Department of Energy's 
    investment in grid modernization and reflects a recognition that a more 
    efficient and integrated grid is integral to achieving President Obama's 
    goals to significantly increase the use of renewable energy resources and to 
    improve the Nation's economic future." 

Could someone clarify the 
    relationship of the OASIS effort with this DOE office's activities to 
    develop the smart grid? Is NIST the connection?
