Commerce Department Releases Smart Grid Standards

摘要

In September, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke unveiled an accelerated plan for developing standards to reach the smart grid. Produced by the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the approximately 90-page document identifies about 80 initial standards to support interoperability of all the various pieces of the system. The report also lists a set of 14 "priority action plans" that address the most important gaps in the initial standard set.
