Standards and interoperability are essential to economically implement smart grid projects and to foster economies of scale in the industrial production and supply of components. This workshop focuses on communication standards, interoperability and electromagnetic compatibility issues of smart grid devices, and it aims to pragmatically address the following items:
-
Where do we stand?
-
What is actually going on with regards to emerging standards?

Jaroslaw Kussyk received his diploma and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering (automatics and remote control) at Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University (Ukraine) in 1992 and at Vienna University of Technology (Austria) in 1996 respectively.
David Johnson has been involved in smart metering for many years, initially working for Centrica in the UK and latterly as a consultant. As a member of the Smart Meter Coordination Group since it started in 2009, he has played a prominent role in the development of documents produced under the European Commission's M/441 smart metering mandate to the European Standardization Organizations. These include the CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Technical Report 50572 in 2011 on a functional reference architecture for communications in smart metering systems, and the subsequent list of smart metering standards as at the end of 2012. Since the start of the EC smart grid mandate M/490, he has acted as rapporteur between the two standardization initiatives and helped coordinate the ongoing work of the Smart Meter and Smart Grid Coordination Groups. In that role he has contributed to the reports produced by the SG-CG in 2012 and 2014 in response to the M/490 mandate.
