Abstract
The race to build the smart grid is on, with electric utilities across the country investing in both pilot programs and systemwide deployments of advanced digital technologies to manage generation, transmission, demand, and distributed energy resources in real time. Now, more than ever, the electric power industry must play an equally active and coordinated role in defining and developing the standards and protocols that will be needed to realize a secure and interoperable nationwide smart grid.
