M/441 – Current status

16 December 2010 Ofgem David Johnson – Co-chair SMCG Report Group

Mandate M/441

General objective:

• The general objective of the mandate is to ensure European standards

that will enable interoperability of utility meters (water, gas, electricity, heat), which can then improve the means by which customers’ awareness of actual consumption can be raised in order to allow timely adaptation to their demands Specific objectives:

• Must permit fully integrated solutions, modular and multi-part

solutions

• Architecture

must be scalable and adaptable to future communications media

• Must allow secure data exchange

Mandate M/441

Work organization:

• M/441 formally accepted by the ESOs in July 2009
• Formation of Smart Meter Co-ordination Group (SMCG)
• advisory & co-ordination group of ESOs and European stakeholder

representatives

• wide representation of all relevant stakeholders incl energy suppliers,

network companies, meter manufacturers, communications companies, home automation experts

• ANEC represents European consumers
• Establishment of Report Group
• drafts & agrees wording of reports
• wide representation of all relevant stakeholders
• output agreed by SMCG Plenary meetings
• Effective liaison & co-operation between TCs
• Regular

communication with SM-CG, to ensure transparent standardisation process

Mandate M/441

Comments:

• Standardisation in this context does not mean imposing identical

solutions on all smart metering projects in the Member States

• Aim is to ensure that what a Member State may want to do in smart

metering is covered by suitable European/international standards

• Member States will have own priorities & cost benefit analyses,

leading to different solutions

• Also differences between electricity, gas, water & heat
• Aim to develop one common standards “suitcase”

Mandate M/441

Deliverable 1: SMCG report (December 2009):

• an extensive survey of the current standardisation landscape as

regards smart metering - more a strategic document than a technical detailed report

• identified a list of additional functionalities for smart metering

systems - as basis for understanding standardisation requirements

• proposed specific recommendations for the organisation of the

standardisation work (responsibility allocation)

• since then thinking in first SMCG report has developed – additional

functionalities -> use cases, creation of glossary, development of work programme

Mandate M/441

Six high-level additional functionalities: 1. Remote reading of metrological register(s) and provision to designated market organisation(s) 2. Two-way communication between the metering system and designated market organisation(s) 3. To support advanced tariffing and payment systems 4. To allow remote disablement and enablement of supply 5. Communicating with (and where appropriate directly controlling) individual devices within the home / building (wording under review) 6. To provide information via web portal/gateway to an in-home/building display or auxiliary equipment

Mandate M/441

Notes on additional functionalities:

• Aim is to provide framework to assist standardisation process and

help co-ordinate efforts of TCs

• Functionalities are expressed in broad terms, so they can be related

to electricity, gas, heating/cooling and water

• List
• f functionalities is not a minimum list of smart meter

functionalities

– Not all functionalities will necessarily feature in all applications – Not all functionalities will necessarily feature in all Member States – Not all functionalities will (have to) be implemented using the AMI

• Many of the functionalities potentially applicable to gas, heat and

water meters are critically subject to availability of sufficient power – battery life is currently a major constraining factor

• Subsequent work on high-level and lower level use cases

Mandate M/441

Deliverable 2 Technical Report on communications - M/441 phase 1 response:

• currently

being drafted by the report group – v0.4.0 presented to SMCG 18th November

• draws on first deliverable, but focus only on communications
• establishes a functional reference architecture for communications (&

some possible physical implementations) relevant for interfaces in smart metering systems

• details the standards relevant to meeting the requirements of M/441

– current and those to be developed – and clarifies which interfaces are to be addressed in each standard

• very late – formally due last summer

Mandate M/441

Scope of TR:

• Does not cover metrological aspects (MID), just the communications

from the meter

• Does not cover displays/home automation, just the communications

to them, if these are to be routed via the smart metering system

• Does not cover electric vehicles, just the communications to them if

these are to be routed via the smart metering system

• Does not cover smart grid applications, just the communications to

them if these are to be routed via the smart metering system

• Does not cover ‘back office’ or other industry IT systems impacted by

smart meters but work will have implications on these

Mandate M/441

M/441 standards are (or will be)

• voluntary
• a toolbox to facilitate smart metering deployments
• neutral, as regards market structures/outcomes
• do not foreclose markets (bundling)
• pen, promote competition
• covering the Advanced Metering Infrastructure and not just the meter

The additional functionalities are intended to guide standardisation

• indicate functionality to be covered by standards
• business uses of functionalities will take place within a regulatory framework

e.g. disconnection

Mandate M/441

Final Deliverable (Phase 2) M/441 standards:

• Long list of relevant standards identified for review/extension by

European Standards Organisations (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI)

• Technical Committees have developed work programmes
• Challenge of joint working by TCs
• Liaison arrangements in place

BUT

• Making standards a lengthy process

Other Relevant EU Initiatives

• ERGEG GGP for smart metering
• Smart Grids Task Force (under DG ENER)

– 3 expert groups: Reports on functionalities & standards, data protection & data security, and roles & responsibilities – Reports now being finalised

• Joint Working Group (JWG) on smart grids (under European Standards

Organisations) – Anticipates need for standardisation – Report (v1.0) now being finalised

• Proposals for smart grid mandate

– Will complement M/441 standardisation – (Also mandate on Electric vehicle charging)

Joint Working Group on smart grids

Standardisation principles:

• Top down approach

The different applications need to fit together > strong coordination

• Flexible framework of standards

A flexible model or architecture must be available to map services & use cases

• European set of use cases

Build single repository of use cases to identify future standardisation needs

• Alignment with international standards

Transfer the European results to the international level

• Don’t reinvent the wheel

Reuse existing mature standards

Joint Working Group on smart grids

Scope:

• Generation standards
• Transmission standards
• Distribution standards
• Smart metering standards
• Industrial facilities (‘Industry’)
• Home & building automation standards
• Cross-cutting issues e.g. reference architecture, smart grid information security

Smart grid mandate

Draft scope:

• A technical reference architecture
• A set of consistent standards

to support information exchange & electrical and system connection

• Sustainable standardisation processes (incl. use case management)
• An agreed set of harmonised high level information security & data privacy reqts

Early deliverables:

• Prioritisation of key standards
• Development of work plan
