SG 3 - Strategic Group on Smart Grid

SG 3 (Strategic Group) on Smart Grid, set up by the IEC SMB (Standardization Management Board), provides advice on fast-moving ideas and technologies likely to form the basis for new International Standards or IEC TCs (Technical Committees) in the area of Smart Grid technologies.

It has developed the framework and provides strategic guidance to all Technical Committees involved in Smart Grid work and has developed the Smart Grid Roadmap which covers standards for interoperability, transmission, distribution, metering, connecting consumers and cyber security.

The IEC through SG 3 is working in close collaboration with Smart Grid projects around the globe, including NIST (US National Institute of Standards and Technology). IEC Standards are recognized as being crucial in the development of Smart Grids everywhere.
