IEEE Smart Grid Interoperability Series of Standards

The 2030 Smart Grid standards share the common goal of interoperability supported by interrelated and complementary technologies.

Interoperability: the capability of two or more networks, systems, devices, applications, or components to externally exchange & readily use information securely & effectively. (Std 2030).

Smart Grid: the integration of power, communications, & information technologies for an improved electric power infrastructure serving loads while providing for an ongoing evolution of end-use applications. (Std 2030).

The IEEE standards development process is open and voluntary and operates under a consensus process. The best way to participate in standards development is to attend working group (WG) meetings. All WG meetings are open meetings. Information on upcoming WG meetings can be found on the individual WG sites.
