This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 2030.5-2018™, IEEE Standard for Smart Energy Profile Application Protocol.
The empowerment of consumers to manage their usage and generation of energy is a critical feature of the Smart Grid and is a basis of innovation for new products and services in energy management. To enable this capability, information flow between devices such as meters, smart appliances, plug-in electric vehicles, energy management systems, and distributed energy resources (including renewable energy and storage elements) must occur in an open, standardized, secure, and interoperable fashion. The following standard is intended to fulfill those needs.
The first publication of this standard (IEEE Std 2030.5-2013) was driven by, and sought to address the requirements of, many activities across the globe. Of note were the efforts within the United States by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) (in particular, Priority Action Plans 3, 9, 10, 11, and 18, with influence from many of the others) in fulfillment of the EISA 2007 legislation, the European Mandate on Smart Metering (M/441) (in particular, efforts within CEN/CENELEC and ETSI, and the Smart Meter Working Group), as well as similar efforts in Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China, and electric vehicle standardization efforts (in particular, ISO/IEC JWG automotive EV standards and SAE EV standards), to name only a few.
This revision of IEEE Std 2030.5 was made with particular attention to the activities underway in California as part of the Rule 21 revision and the associated Smart Inverter Working Group as well as the revision of IEEE Std 1547™. This revision also seeks to address any errors and ambiguities discovered in the testing and deployment of the first publication.
This standard is also intended to enable communications that are link-layer agnostic and run over the Internet Protocol. Careful consideration was given to premises networks with various architectures, numbers of devices, and constraints, while maintaining flexibility, extensibility, and security.
