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 of 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 18 th 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) • open, 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)
