General Background: PAP2 in SGIP

•
Smart Grid Interoperability Panel

Priority Action Plan 2

(
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki
-
sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SGIP
) works on
wireless technologies for smart grid


•
In January 2011, PAP2 approved a document summarizing its work in 2010,
“
Guidelines for Assessing Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications
.”
(
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki
-
sggrid/pub/SmartGrid/PAP02Objective3/NIST_PAP2_Guidelines_for_Assessin
g_Wireless_Standards_for_Smart_Grid_Applications_1.0.pdf
)

–
Guidelines’ main content is a discussion of wireless air interface modeling

–
Specific technology performance in that document is from the respective SDOs in the
Annex A through E: Wi
-
Fi, LTE, HSPA, cdma2000, and
WiMAX


•
In 2011, PAP has been focusing on the evaluation of wireless technologies

–
In the SGIP
Catalog of Standards

(
http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki
-
sggrid/bin/view/SmartGrid/SGIPCatalogOfStandards
), none of the cellular standards
have been “identified.” cdma2000 1x and HRPD are listed under the “under review”
section.

Wireless Technology Evaluation in PAP2: Wireless SDOs

•
The PAP2 SDO subcommittee, consisting of representatives from IEEE
802.11, ATIS, TIA TR45.5, and
WiMAX

Forum, continues to develop
technology assessment methodology

–
The group meets every Monday 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. PST

–
The goal of this group is to update the NIST IR 7761 Guidelines for Assessing
Wireless Standards for Smart Grid Applications, with a focus on the wireless
communication aspects

–
SDO subcommittee reports progress to PAP2 during biweekly PAP2 calls


•
Recent focus of the PAP2 SDO subcommittee is to complete chapters 4, 5,
and 6 of the guideline document

–
Chapter 4: wireless technology descriptions correspond to
“Wireless Functionality
and Characteristic Matrix for the Identification of Smart Grid Domain Applications”
(http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki
-
sggrid/pub/SmartGrid/PAP02Objective2/Consolidated_NIST_Wireless_Characteristi
cs_Matrix
-
V5.xls
)


–
Chapter 5: wireless technology evaluation method that includes an initial screening
and refinements to the screening using a combination of analysis, simulation, and/or
testbed

in the field.

–
Chapter 6: Performance metric and associated considerations

Status of Guideline Development

•
Chapter 4

–
90+% complete

–
Pending final review of the text by the group

–
No plan for resubmitting the matrix

•
Chapter 5

–
Capacity estimation method and Link/MAC/System modeling review
complete

–
Spectrum choices and deployment modeling tool currently under review

–
Target to be completed by May 2012

•
Chapter 6

–
Has not started

–
Need to decide specific content and seeking lead editor

–
Additional details
on
the spectrum allocation and options in the US needs
to be considered

Modeling Tool Status


•
Not yet fully reviewed by SDO
-
subcommittee


•
Limited to land
-
based, outdoor BS, & PMP topology, indoor or outdoor
terminal locations

–
5 Outdoor path loss models to choose from

–
Covers 700 MHz to 6000 MHz

–
BS antenna heights 7 to 80 meters in rural and suburban with varied (but
not extreme) terrain characteristics

–
10 meter BS antenna height for urban microcell, otherwise above rooftops

–
Handles TDD and FDD

–
Channel capacity estimates based on uniform distribution of terminals
–

and will differentiate between DL and UL


•
Estimates for penetration loss & interference margins based on limited
data/references
