“GridWise™ is a concept of how advanced communications, information and controls technology can transform the nation’s energy system—across the spectrum of large scale, central generation to common consumer appliances and equipment—into a collaborative network, rich in the exchange of decision making information and an abundance of market-based opportunities” (Widergren and Bosquet 2003)—accompanying the electric transmission and distribution system fully into the information and telecommunication age. This report summarizes a broad review of standards efforts which are related to GridWise—those which could ultimately contribute significantly to advancements toward the GridWise vision, or those which represent today’s current technological basis upon which this vision must build.
