Recovery Act: Smart Grid Demonstration Program
(32 projects: $620M Federal; $1,028M non-Federal)
Smart Grid Demonstrations on a suite of
technologies to validate performance and cost
information for a proven use (business) case:
Regional demonstrations
› Demonstration of technical/operational/business-model feasibility
on a regional scale:
ƒ 8 NERC regions,
ƒ 27 eGrid subregions
ƒ co-ops or publicly owned utilities in the (sub)regions
Grid-scale energy storage demonstrations
› Battery storage for utility load shifting or for wind farm operations
› Frequency regulation ancillary services
› Distributed energy storage for grid support
› Compressed air energy storage (CAES)
› Demonstration of promising energy storage technologies
Recovery Act:
Smart Grid Standards Development
NIST having primary responsibility to coordinate
development of protocols and model standards for
interoperability of Smart Grid devices and systems
ƒ Phase 1: Identified an initial set of existing consensus standards
and develop a roadmap to fill gaps
— Draft report, NIST Framework and Roadmap for
Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 1.0,
published in September for public comment
¾ Identified ~80 existing standards that can be used
now for smart grid development
¾ Identified 14 high priority gaps plus cyber security
in need for new or revised standards
ƒ Phase 2: Established public/private Standards Panel in
December 2009 to provide ongoing recommendations for
new/revised standards
ƒ Phase 3: Initiate implementation of the testing and certification
framework in 2010
