Joint CEN, CENELEC and ETSI Activity on Standards for Smart Grid

Joint CEN, CENELEC and ETSI Activity on Standards for Smart Grids

The CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Joint Working Group (JWG) on standards for smart grids worked between June 2010 and March 2011 on the production of a report addressing standards for smart grids.

• Final Report of the CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Joint Working Group on standards for smart grids
• Recommendations for smart grid standardization in Europe

On 1 March 2011, the European Commission issued standardization mandate M/490 requesting the ESOs "to develop a framework to enable European Standardisation Organisations to perform continuous standard enhancement and development in the field of Smart Grids, while maintaining transverse consistency and promote continuous innovation."

• M/490 

The focal point addressing the ESO's response to M/490 is the CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Smart Grids Coordination Group (SG-CG), built around the membership of the previous JWG.

M/490 requires the work to build on already existing material delivered through other mandates such as the M/441 and M/468.

• More information on Smart meters work, co-ordinated by the CEN, CENELEC and ETSI Smart Meter Coordination Group (M/441).

Structure of the Smart Grid Coordination Group

A main group, the Smart Grid Coordination Group, and 4 Working Groups, all working under the responsibility of the main group:

• Working Group Reference Architecture
• Working Group First Set of Standards
