Dive Summary:
- The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) are jointly developing Standard 201P, a Facility Smart Grid Information Model designed “to describe, manage, and communicate about electrical energy consumptions and forecasts.”
- Standard 201P, which is under public review until September 3, 2012, would define an object-oriented information model to combat what Steve Bushby, one of the standard’s writers, says has historically “been viewed as a collection of dumb loads at the end of a distribution system.”
- AHSRAE’s work on the standard is part of its support for the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel, which aims to speed the development of nationwide interoperability and cyber security standards.
