今年6月，美國電力科學(xué)研究院(以下簡稱“美國電科院”)舉辦了互操作性研討會，標(biāo)志著在家用電器連入智能電網(wǎng)產(chǎn)業(yè)方面又向前邁進(jìn)了一步。研討會展示了模塊化通信接口如何使任一終端設(shè)備憑借用戶安裝的插入式通信模塊與通信系統(tǒng)協(xié)同工作。美國電科院解釋道，這種實用方法消除了通信技術(shù)快速發(fā)展所帶來的問題，使得現(xiàn)在生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品能夠在將來的需求響應(yīng)系統(tǒng)中繼續(xù)使用。美國電科院從事這一合作性產(chǎn)業(yè)項目始于2008年，該項目共涉及65家公司，包括家電制造商、通信系統(tǒng)供應(yīng)商和供電公司。由此產(chǎn)生的規(guī)范有助于美國國家標(biāo)準(zhǔn)技術(shù)研究院和相關(guān)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化工作的開展，并將進(jìn)一步推動開放性標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的出臺。

The plug-in module that makes any appliance grid-connected
Jun 8, 2011
An interoperability workshop hosted by EPRI last month marked a step forward in the industry effort to connect residential appliances with the smart grid. The workshop demonstrated how a modular communication interface enables any end device to work with any communication system through user installed plug-in communication modules. This practical approach, as EPRI explains, eliminates the problem of rapidly evolving communication technologies and allows products to be produced today that can work in demand response systems of the future.
EPRI started work on this collaborative industry project that has involved 65 companies, including appliance manufacturers, communication system providers and utilities in 2008. The resulting specification has been contributed to NIST and related standards activities and is targeted to be made an open standard going forward.
