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!
