continues as a Participating Member

• CPUC has statutory obligation to consider standards associated with Smart Grid as developed by groups, including SGIP (Public Utilities Code Sec. 8362)

• CPUC actively participates in several Working Groups and Priority Action Plans:– PAP 9/10: Access to information– PAP 18: SEP 1.0/2.0 Transition Plan– PAP 20: Green Button– PAP 22: EV Submetering– Business and Policy DEWG– Distributed Renewables, Generators, and Storage DEWG– Implementation Methods Committee– Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee– Smart Grid Cybersecurity Committee, Privacy Subcommittee

• Standards support interoperability, which helps lower costs

Green Button• Underlying standard, OpenADE, developed by SGIP PAP 10 and 20.

– NAESB REQ 21• CPUC de facto adopted standard in 2013 directing utilities to

implement Green Button Connect My Data• CPUC staff participated in PAP 10 and 20 efforts to

– understand the standard itself – provide input into the development to reflect state goals– Work with utilities to make it interoperable across the state– CPUC staff continues to participate in the continued updating of the

standard and interaction between SDO and SGIP

26

Electric Vehicles• CPUC staff participates in PAP 22’s working group on

submetering.• This working group was formed in part to help address the

technical requirements needed to meet the CPUC’s electric vehicle submetering requirement.

• The group brings together a range of stakeholders with expertise in metering technology, telemetry, electric vehicles, vehicle charging, and utility requirements.

• The outputs from this group have been used to help develop temporary submetering performance and communication requirements that will be used in CPUC submetering pilots that begin in Spring 2014.

27

DRGS

• California upgrading interconnection rules for distributed generation

• Also addressing issues associated with Smart Inverters.

• DRGS, Subgroup B recently released White Paper on DER use cases and interoperability

• Also in initial stages of discussing issues associated with microgrids and their impact on the distribution grid.

• Cybersecurity– All standards under consideration by SGIP have a cybersecurity

review– Access to experts– Helped inform utility Smart Grid Deployment Plan cybersecurity

requirements
