Smart utility meter
The Smart Appliances specifications were based on the oneM2M communication framework (TS 103 267) complemented with Smart Appliance REFerence (that is now Smart Applications REFerence, SAREF V3 TS 103 264) ontology. Initially, Smart Appliances have been specified on request of EC DG Connect. TC SmartM2M focus is on an application-independent ‘horizontal’ service platform with architecture capable of supporting a very wide range of services including Smart Metering, Smart Grids, eHealth, Smart Cities, consumer applications, car automation, Smart Applications (SAREF).
Our Smart Machine-to-Machine communications Technical Committee (TC SmartM2M) actively supports the oneM2M global initiative, especially in relation to European Commission (EC) driven activities, bridging the EC’s needs in the M2M/IoT area and the technical work in oneM2M and other ETSI activities. More information concerning past CEN/CENELEC/ETSI achievements on Smart Grids can be found here and on Smart Meters here. With respect to international standardization activities on smart grids and meters, the Group shall monitor the progress of the relevant standardization activities in ISO, IEC and ITU, and promote coordination between the European activities and those at the international level and promote when needed the consideration of European requirements within international standardization. The CG-SG shall also receive inputs from and provide input to the European Commission’s activities related to standardization in the field of smart grids and meters. Within its scope the Group will address the European requirements resulting from the Clean Energy Package, including secondary legislation, and any other relevant Commission initiatives. In the specific area of metering, its scope includes electricity, water, gas and heat/cooling metering devices and systems, and associated architectures. The scope also includes any standards needed to design, operate and maintain electrical grids securely and efficiently. Its aim is to promote the deployment of open and interoperable data architectures, based on European and international standards. This includes interactions with end-users, including consumers/prosumers. electricity, gas, heat, water), and assesses ways to address them. Since January 2021, the CG-SG advises on European standardization requirements relating to smart electrical grid and multi-commodity smart metering standardization, including interactions between commodity systems (e.g. CEN-CENELEC-ETSI Coordination Group on Smart Grids (CG-SG) In January 2021, taking into consideration the close contact between both Groups since the beginning of its creation when the European Commission issued the mandates M/441 (utility meters) and M/490 (smart grid), CEN and CENELEC BTs and ETSI Board decided to merge both groups in CEN-CENELEC-ETSI CG on Smart Grids (CG-SG) coping with both Smart Energy Grids and Smart Meters.
In order to perform the requested work, the ESOs combined their strategic approach and established the Coordination Group on Smart Energy Grids (CG-SEG). In March 2011, the European Commission and EFTA issued the Smart Grid Mandate M/490 requesting CEN, CENELEC and ETSI to develop a framework to enable European Standardization Organizations (ESOs) to perform continuous standard enhancement and development in the smart grid field. In response to this request (M/441), CEN, CENELEC and ETSI decided to combine their expertise and resources by establishing the Coordination Group on Smart Meters (CG-SM). In 2009, the European Commission and EFTA mandated CEN, CENELEC and ETSI the development of an open architecture for utility meters involving communication protocols enabling interoperability (smart metering). Smart Grids and Smart Meters Standardization requests and Coordination Groups They also come with in-home displays, which give users real-time feedback on their energy or water usage and what it is costing. Smart meters send meter readings to the utility company automatically. A Smart Grid is an electricity network that can cost efficiently integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it – generators, consumers and those that do both – in order to ensure economically efficient, a sustainable power system with low losses and high levels of quality and security of supply and safety.Ī Smart Meter is an electronic device that records consumption of electricity, gas or water and communicates that information for monitoring and billing.
