Project coordination.
WP2: State-of-the-art: existing standards and Smart Grid industry initiatives (Months 1-17)
As a first step, STARGRID will collect the relevant documents and information from standardization bodies and industry initiatives.
WP3: Analysis of existing standards and drafts (Months 4-17)
Gathered material will be analyzed according to a defined methodology and evaluation criteria. The objective is to identify the standards’ requirements that enable or limit certain use cases and business models or are decisive for the interaction of different components of Smart Grid. Gaps and contradictions within currently available standards will be pointed out as well.
WP4: Analysis of industry opinion regarding existing standards and drafts (Months 8-17)
