This folder contains road maps for the development of interoperability standards for smart grid technologies and systems. Interoperability is essential in order to integrate components from multiple vendors and would ideally enable international trade of smart grid products.
Sub-tasks
SG-1.2 Road Maps for Renewable Energy and Distributed Energy Integration
This folder contains road maps for integration of renewable energy and distributed energy sources into the electricity grid. These road maps examine the pathways to overcoming challenges presented by these power sources.
SG-1.3 Road Maps for Building Automation
This folder contains road maps for building automation, including plans for rolling out Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI), a critical piece of infrastructure necessary for enabling building automation.
SG-1.4 Road Maps for Electric Vehicle Integration
The folder contains road maps for electric vehicle integration into the electric grid. The expected increase in electric vehicle use will present a challenge of meeting this new demand as well as potential for using vehicles as short-term storage for mitigating load peaking.
SG-1.5 Road Maps for Microgrids
The folder contains road maps for the development of independent microgrid systems, creation of systems of microgrids, as well as integration of microgrids into traditional electricity grid architectures.
SG-1.6 Smart Grid Demonstration Projects
This folder contains smart grid demonstration projects from throughout the APEC economies. These demonstrations provide information about technologies implemented, best practices employed in establishing new systems, and user experiences.
