ETSI has recently published two specifications for smart grid that are intended to help drive the development and deployment of open, interoperable smart grid technologies internationally.

The two OSGP specifications that originated with ESNA and were published by ETSI for global use are:

  • Group specification GS OSG 001:. Open Smart Grid Protocol. Produced by the ETSI Open Smart Grid Industry Specification Group, this application layer protocol can be used with multiple communication media.

  • Technical specification TS 103 908: Powerline Telecommunications (PLT); BPSK Narrow Band Power Line Channel for Smart Metering Applications. This specification defines a high-performance narrowband powerline channel for control networking in the smart grid that can be used with multiple smart grid devices. It was produced by the ETSI Technical Committee for Powerline Telecommunications (TC PLT).

    "As the effects of globalization permeate further and accelerate, ETSI is providing businesses and the industry with efficient solutions for accessing and developing new and established world markets via standardization," said Luis Jorge Romero, director general of ETSI.

    "ESNA has been very active during the past year in the various smart metering and smart grid standardization activities across Europe as well as the rest of the world. We are honored to share this latest achievement with OSGP being recognized by ETSI, and we anticipate sharing more milestones reached with other leading standards organizations in the coming year," said Bo Danielsen, president of ESNA and head of Smart Grid Projects at SEAS-NVE, the largest consumer-owned utility in Denmark.
