IEEE looks for standardisation of smart grid communications
IEEE, one of the world’s largest organisations dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, has announced the formation of the IEEE 802.24 Smart Grid Technical Advisory Group (TAG). The newly launched entity is a collaborative that works with multiple IEEE 802 working groups (WGs) and will liaise with key smart grid ecosystem stakeholders, such as regulatory agencies, and other standards development bodies and industry organisations. The IEEE 802.24 Smart Grid TAG’s goal is to help resolve questions and challenges regarding the use of IEEE 802 standards in smart grid applications.
“IEEE 802 networking standards have achieved near-ubiquitous adoption,” said Bill Ash, Strategic Program Manager, IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA). “They’re essential underlying technologies found in almost every computing device made today, whether it’s a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone. These standards are an integral part of the connected world.”
