Thanks Ed,
It may be that most people on the smartgrid-discuss list already
understood what you just illuminated so no one felt a need to articulate it.
What you stated sounds like a well thought out path for standardization and it
does seem valuable to include it in the charter for the OASIS TC, especially
for other folks who weren’t part of the process to date.
Given the adoption path what is the likely timeframe for actual
adoption as an IEC/ISO standard? What are the biggest risks in such a
timeframe?
Regards,
James

James,
I can shed some light on this. A few months ago that was a
meeting to discuss how best to move OpenADR into a formal SDO. There were
representatives at the meeting from a number of different standards
organizations including representatives from IEC. In fact there were
representatives from both TC-8 and TC-57 at that meeting. The general the
consensus was that IEC was probably the best SDO to move this work into, but
that the right path to do that was to first develop it in both UCAIug and OASIS
and then move it into IEC. Both UCAIug and OASIS have strong ties to IEC
and everyone felt that taking this path would make things much smoother and
faster.
A number of people on this mailing list were on that conference
call so I’ll let them chime in on this topic.
I thought there was some mention in the charter about IEC, but
perhaps nothing that reflects what I stated above. Maybe there should be.

Bill et al,
I’m puzzled by the lack of any mention of the work of the IEC on
Smart Grid standards. The mention of the CIMug sort of addresses this
(IEC 61968) but the IEC seems to have a major effort to develop a number of
standards that are applicable to the SmartGrid and they have significant
international influence.
How does the OASIS OpenADR relate to the work of the IEC on the
issue of demand-response?
My perspective is from the standpoint of a company that may be
providing validation and certification tools and services for Smart Grid
interoperability. The fewer competing standards or implementations of
standards the better from my point-of-view.

Subject: [smartgrid-discuss] Draft charter for proposed OASIS Energy
Interoperation Technical Committee
Please find attached the draft charter for the proposed
OASIS Energy Interoperation Technical Committee. I've attached a PDF, OpenDocument,
and Word versions, all with line numbers for ease of discussion and review.
We invite you to comment on this list and to determine your interest in joining
this work - please contact me directly if you would like to be listed as a
supporter.
This proposal is being posted to smartgrid-discuss for (guess what!) discussion
and review. The intent of the drafting group is to revise this draft after a
comment period, and then submit the revised charter to the OASIS' Technical
Committee process,.
The core work of the TC is defining XML and Web services interactions for
so-called Automated Demand Response, growing out of work at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory Demand Response Research Center led by Mary Ann
Piette, who is the convener of the proposed TC. This specific proposal comes
from the context of many discussions in and related to the OpenADR Technical
Advisory Group, GridWise Architecture Council, Grid-Interop, the NIST Smart
Grid project, GridEcon (a conference in March on the economics of the Smart
Grid - http://www.gridecon.com/ ) and
many other places.
The LBNL OpenADR body of work is being extended through two
organizations/entities being created: this proposed OASIS Technical Committee
and a proposed UCAIug OpenADR Task Force. In this innovative collaboration, the
UCAIug, whose members are largely utilities and their suppliers, we will focus
requirements, goals, data models and comments through UCAIug, involving their
membership.
If you're not familiar with OASIS Technical Committee Charters, the statement
of purpose is section (1)(b), the scope is section (1)(c), and identification
of similar or applicable work is section (2)(a).
As usual as charters evolve, the list of supporters is empty in this public
discussion draft, and the list of deliverables and timeline is not included --
the next version will have those sections completed. Again, if you would like
to join this work as a supporter and member of the technical committee, let us
know.
Collaboration with other groups of stakeholders is actively being sought;
please contact me for how to get involved. Other stakeholders include energy
market makers, Independent System Operators (such as those in California,
Texas, New England, the Midwest, etc), and policy and regulatory groups.
For more details, see the draft charter -- and step forward so we can make this
interoperation effort both broad and effective.
Thanks!
