Under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has "primary responsibility to coordinate development of a framework that includes protocols and model standards for information management to achieve interoperability of smart grid devices and systems..." To carry out its EISA-assigned responsibilities, NIST devised a three-phase plan to rapidly establish an initial set of standards, while providing a robust process for continued development and implementation of standards as needs and opportunities arise and as technology advances. The SGIP and this wiki were born from that plan. Click here for additional information on NIST's role and activities. | |
What is a “Smart Grid?”
By integrating an end-to-end, advanced communications infrastructure into the electric power system, a Smart Grid can provide consumers near real-time information on their energy use, support pricing that reflects changes in supply and demand, and enable smart appliances and devices to help consumers avoid higher energy bills.A more intelligent grid can also:

What is the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel?
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated the SGIP to support NIST in fulfilling its responsibility, under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, to coordinate standards development for the Smart Grid. Established in late 2009, the SGIP is a public/private partnership that defines requirements for essential communication protocols and other common specifications and coordinates development of these standards by collaborating organizations.
The SGIP is comprised of over 600 member organizations representing 22 stakeholder categories, including federal agencies as well as state and local regulators. More than 1,600 individuals are participating in SGIP activities. Membership is free and open to all organizations interested in achieving the Smart Grid vision.
SGIP Technical Activities
Given the complexity and urgency of its mission, the SGIP has several priority-specific committees and working groups.
Smart Grid Architecture Committee (SGAC): Maintains a conceptual reference model for the Smart Grid and develops corresponding high-level architectural principles and requirements.
Smart Grid Testing and Certification Committee (SGTCC): Creates and maintains the necessary framework for compliance, interoperability and cybersecurity testing and certification for recommended Smart Grid standards.
Cyber Security Working Group (CSWG): Identifies and analyzes security requirements and develops a risk mitigation strategy to ensure the security and integrity of the Smart Grid.
Priority Action Plans (PAPs): Currently totaling 16, PAPs address specific standards-related gaps and issues for which resolution is most urgently needed. New PAPs are added as necessary.
Domain Expert Working Groups (DEWGs): Numbering six, DEWGs perform analyses and provide expertise in specific application domains. Current DEWGs are:
- Transmission and Distribution
- Building to Grid
- Industry to Grid
- Home to Grid
- Business and Policy
- Vehicle to Grid
SGIP Leadership
The SGIP is led by three core teams: NIST, plenary officers and a governing board. The governing board prioritizes the work of the SGIP and consults regularly with organizations involved in standardization efforts. The board is comprised of elected representatives from all stakeholder categories, at-large members and ex-officio members, including the NIST national coordinator for Smart Grid interoperability.
