The smart grid interoperability reference model (SGIRM) was developed in IEEE Std 2030™-2011 for systems that integrate, among other assets, distributed energy resources (DER). DER management systems (DERMS) and microgrid controllers are examples of such systems applied in this guide. In the process of applying the SGIRM-2011, elements were added to reflect the changes that have occurred since 2011 in electric grids. These include the increasing deployment of DER both at the distribution system and, when aggregated, at the transmission system, the increasing role of electricity markets, and business and environmental considerations in their deployment. These elements were added to the SGIRM. The SGIRM defines three integrated architectural perspectives (IAP): power systems, communications and information technology, and business and regulatory requirements. The SGIRM facilitates the implementation of interoperability requirements by establishing relationships between elements of the complete installation, regrouped within IAPs, and by identifying the relevant and applicable standards and rules. The SGIRM can be used to complement design approaches for individual elements of a system and facilitates extensibility, scalability, and upgradeability.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
