Definition of Smart Grid

One example of the DKE-Committee SMART.GRID

The term Smart Grid (an intelligent energy supply

system) comprises

networking and control of intelligent generators,

storage facilities, loads and network operating
equipment
in power transmission and distribution networks
with the aid of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT).
The objective is to ensure sustainable and
environmentally sound power supply by means of
transparent, energy- and cost-efficient, safe and
reliable system operation.

Executive Summary

Use and marketing of existing standards

Many of the necessary standards already exist. There are internationally recognized standards in the fields of power,
industrial and building automation. These will have to be used and promotef accordingly.

Coordination and focus

The Smart Grid is characterised by a large number of players and disciplines. Inter-domain cooperation and
coordination by the establishment of a steering group and groups dealing with focal and interdisciplinary topics are
necessary if duplication of effort is to be avoided.

Further development of standards

The fundamental need for action consists in linking the established domains.

Support for innovation

In order to promote innovation, standardization should focus on interoperability and avoid specification of technical
solutions.

Speed / International orientation

There is at present competition between different national and regional standardization concepts. Rapid
implementation of the results achieved in Germany (Europe) in standards is therefore essential.

Involvement in standardization

Increased participation in standardization activities on national, regional and international levels is necessary for
achievement of the objectives. German companies should therefore make greater contributions to German, European
and international standardization.

Political support

Close dovetailing cooperation of research and development, regulation and the legal framework with standardization
is necessary.
