ZigBee to Propose Market Leading ZigBee Smart Energy as Basis for an IEC Standard

19/05/2009

...Greg Robinson, convener of IEC TC57 Working Group 14, added, "Basing and harmonizing the ZigBee Smart Energy profile on the IEC common Information Model (CIM) would improve data fidelity and minimize overall life cycle costs for exchanging information among home area networks, metering systems and utility back office systems."...

....The ZigBee Alliance and its members are already working with a variety of organizations focused on smart grid technologies. Those organizations include:

• The American Society of Heating,
  
• Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE),
  
• Digital Addressable Lighting Initiative (Dali),
  
• HomePlug Powerline Alliance,
  
• International Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
  
• Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI),
  
• European Smart Metering Industry Group (ESMIG),
• National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC),
  
• National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST),
  
• National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA),
  
• Open Smart Grid, other industry organizations and various governmental authorities worldwide....
