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-interop) What relationship to DOE OE?
Bob --
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!

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?
