RE: [smartgrid-discuss] Pricing standards

David,

 

I am new to this group.  Just to provide some background, I am on IEC TC 57 WG 13, 13, 16, and 19. 

 

Your doc mentioned TC 57 so I thought I would forward two things that I think are relevant:

 

1) A recent copy of the IEC 61970 Common Information Model.  This is the data model described in UML that TC 57 uses for enterprise integration.   There is some modeling related to schedules in the CIM. This is an Enterprise Architect file.

2) A recent paper about ADR.  This paper discuses the use of OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA).  OPC UA is the web services version of the services IEC 61970 specifies for exchanging CIM data.  OPC UA is also known as IEC 62541.  While OPC UA is new, it is likely to be widely supported by industrial control system vendors.  As such it is a good choice for DR related communication with industrial customers.

 

You should know that EPRI and the IEC are beginning to actively work in this area.  We probably want to figure out how things fit together at some point so that we don't end up doing the same thing twice.

Subject: [smartgrid-discuss] Pricing standards

All,

As part of the discussion on smart grid economics, in addition to schedules is the more general topic of pricing. I have written up some thoughts on what we need to do to move forward on pricing. Part of this is getting some standardized schedule as Toby mentioned. Perhaps a pricing standard will end up in OASIS as well. Does everyone know about the GridEcon meeting being planned for March in Chicago? The plan is to come with a pricing proposal in hand to that meeting, and I believe there is significant work to tackle prior to that time. Your input is appreciated.

David
