PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 7 October 2009 – Today, the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) announced an initial listing of its approved standards and standards projects under development that are related to Smart Grid.
The list of Smart Grid standards and projects can be found on the IEEE-SA website . This initial listing includes the over 20 IEEE standards named in the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0. The NIST report describes a high-level reference model for the Smart Grid, identifies nearly 80 existing standards that can be used now to support Smart Grid development and identifies high priority gaps for which new or revised standards are needed.
The IEEE Smart Grid standards listing further includes 93 standards that are currently available and in development.
