Draft NIST Framework and Roadmap
for Smart Grid Interoperability
Standards, Release 3.0
National Institute of Standards
and Technology, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
The National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks
comments on the draft NIST Framework
and Roadmap for Smart Grid
Interoperability Standards, Release 3.0.
This new document builds on two
previously released Frameworks and
Roadmaps, and incorporates advances
in smart grid infrastructure, such as
widespread deployment of wirelesscommunication power meters, the
availability of customer energy usage
data through the Green Button initiative,
and remote sensing for determining realtime transmission and distribution
status. Release 3.0 also includes
protocols for electric vehicle charging.
The entire draft version of the draft
NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards,
Release 3.0, is available online at: https://
www.nist.gov/smartgrid/
framework3.cfm.
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received on
or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May
30, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
sent to the Cyber Physical Systems and
Smart Grid Program Office, National
Institute of Standards and Technology,
100 Bureau Drive, Mail Stop 8200,
Gaithersburg, MD 20899–8200 or by
email at nistsgfwcmts@nist.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Chris L. Greer, Director, Cyber Physical
Systems and Smart Grid Program Office,
and National Coordinator for Smart Grid
Interoperability, National Institute of
Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau

nistsgfwcmts@nist.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Section 1305 of the Energy
Independence and Security Act (EISA)
of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–140) directs NIST
‘‘to coordinate the development of a
framework that includes protocols and
model standards for information
management to achieve interoperability
of smart grid devices and systems.’’

To meet these statutory goals, in
January 2010, NIST published the NIST
Framework and Roadmap for Smart
Grid Interoperability Standards, Release
1.0 (Release 1.0), and in February 2012,
NIST published the NIST Framework
and Roadmap for Smart Grid
Interoperability Standards, Release 2.0
(Release 2.0), which updated the
material discussed in Release 1.0. The
Framework document discusses the
NIST vision for an advanced smart grid
as well as a high-level overview of smart
grid architecture, cybersecurity, and
testing and certification considerations.
In addition, there is a discussion of the
Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP)
which is playing a key role in the
development of interoperability
standards.
NIST now announces the publication
of the draft NIST Framework and
Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability
Standards, Release 3.0 (Release 3.0
Draft) for public review and comment.
The entire draft version of Release 3.0
Draft is available online at: https://
www.nist.gov/smartgrid/
framework3.cfm.
Release 3.0 Draft builds upon the
work in previous releases with an
update on the progress since Release
2.0; a description of the Smart Grid
Interoperability Panel (SGIP); updated
architecture, cybersecurity, and testing
and certification chapters; and a new
chapter on cross-cutting issues and
future directions.
Since the release of the last edition of
the NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards
(Release 2.0), advances in smart grid
infrastructure have been implemented.
Examples include the widespread
deployment of wireless-communication
power meters, the availability of
customer energy usage data through the
Green Button initiative, remote sensing
for determining real-time transmission
and distribution status, and protocols
for electric vehicle charging, supported
by standards development across the
entire smart grid arena. This release
updates NIST’s ongoing efforts to
facilitate and coordinate smart grid
interoperability standards development
and smart grid-related measurement
science and technology, including the
evolving and continuing NIST
relationship with the SGIP.
Request for comments:
NIST seeks comments on the draft
NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards,
Release 3.0. In particular, the agency
requests that comments be categorized
as (1) technical; (2) editorial; or (3)
general. If a comment is not a general
comment, please identify the relevant
