IEEE Standards span a broad spectrum of technologies, such as:

IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA)VisionBe recognized as a preferred global provider of high-quality, market-relevant technology standards and of services that promote their universal adoption

MissionEnable and promote the collaborative application of technical knowledge to advance economic and social well-being through the development of technical standards and related activities

Two Types of Standards Development

Individual

• Participants are “individuals”: i.e., people• Individuals represent themselves• Each individual participant has one vote• Ballot groups are made up of a minimum of 10 individuals• Ballot group participants must be IEEE-SA individual members

Entity (Corporate)

• Participants are “entities,” i.e., companies, universities, government bodies, etc.

• Designated representative and alternate represent the entity• Each entity has one vote• Standards project initiation requires 3 entities to commit to

membership and payment of appropriate dues• Entity sends representatives to participate in standards

development meetings

IEEE Conformity Assessment Program

Ensuring Adherence to Underlying Standards

Understanding Conformity Assessment

11

Understanding Conformity AssessmentConformity Assessment Definition:

– Conformity Assessment are the processes used to demonstrate and document that a product or service meets specific requirements (as set forth in Standards, Test Plans, etc.)

Conformity Assessment Benefits:– Provides assurance and confidence to purchaser that a

product or service meets requirements– Empowers the user to make better purchasing decisions– Benefits the supplier as products may gain market

acceptance and also create/enlarge new markets

Conformity Assessment Activities Include:– Conformance, Interoperability, Inspection, Accreditation– “Catch-all” term to address range of test-related activities– Sponsoring industry collaborative pilot programs

12

Types of Conformity Assessment

1st Party / Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDOC)– Self Declaration ; Companies conduct their own testing

2nd Party Conformity Assessment– Conformity assessment conducted by the end purchaser of

products (e.g., Service Providers) to ensure purchased products are deemed compliant or interoperable. Ie “Acceptance Testing”

3rd Party Conformity Assessment– Conformity assessment being determined by an independent

body. Ie “Compliance Certification”

Related International Standards

Accreditation Bodies – ISO/IEC 17011

Certification Bodies - ISO/IEC 17065

Test Labs – ISO/IEC 17025

ICAP Introduction

14

ICAP Completes the IEEE-SA Business/Standards Lifecycle

ICAP is a Program of

IEEE-SA

15

In the domain of Standards Implementation Services

IEEE Conformity Assessment Program

IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) is a critical component of IEEE SA’s Standards Implementation services

ICAP started in 2008 as a joint initiative of IEEE SA and IEEE-ISTO and as of October 2014 is wholly operated by IEEE SA

ICAP provides an industry support and operational structure that bridges standards development activities with the conformity assessment activities

ICAP is an important initiative in achieving IEEE SA’s strategic objectives and will have ongoing support from SA and IEEE.

Successful ICAP programs will accelerate market acceptance and enable new products and technologies in support of IEEE Standards.

16

§ Turnkey Certification Management program, including Conformance, Interoperability, Inspection, Accreditation

§ ICAP strategically aligns with global expert test labs to provide the best level of testing and field evaluation support

§ Legal and operational umbrella for testing & conformity assessment programs

§ Test Suite & Specification Development

§ Self-Validation Suite Development

Benefits of Implementing a Conformity Assessment Program

Benefits of conformance test before commercial implementation

– Early identification of non-conformances– Exact functionality of the design/protocol is expressed– Multi-vendor solutions typically show interoperability issues –

helps identify such issues early and discreetly.– New offerings will have bugs – helps to catch them

Reduces the vendor’s cost by eliminating or reducing the need for redundant testing by different end-users

Establishes a baseline for performance expectation

Yields systematic data on interoperability issues – accelerates broad technology platform expansion and innovation

Transparency based on common implementation / Test Authority builds trust throughout the value chain.

20

Perspective of Key Stakeholder: End-User

Sets a performance baseline– The end-user (i.e., utilities, telecom carriers, etc.) knows what

to expect– The manufacturers know what is expected of them

Requiring a Certified Product from a vendor means:– Vendor makes the investment as a qualification cost– Early discovery of problems avoids dealing with unexpected

behaviors during installation and over project lifecycle– Vendor and User save dollars and time in O & M

In the absence of an industry level Conformance Assessment program, an end-used has to establish its own internal one.– Example, PG&E Proof-of-Concept (POC) Facility for

Synchrophasor systems– Significant cost, but helped identify gaps and mature / develop

the industry Guides and Standards

IEEE Certification Mark

28

Certification Mark Defined

A certification mark is any word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof owned by one party who certifies the goods and services of others when they meet certain standards. The owner of the mark exercises control over the use of the mark; however, because the sole purpose of a certification mark is to indicate that certain standards have been met, use of the mark is by others.

29

Micro-Grid / DER Benefits:

Energy/economic security• Renewable generation

sources• Storage technologies • Demand management • Fuel diversity

Increased reliability/resilience• Islanding ability to avoid blackout (UPS)• Digital grade power quality

Improved efficiency• Waste heat recycled forheating/cooling of buildings• Optimized energy consumption• Reduced T&D losses

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) located closer to load centers, configured for both grid-tied and islanded operation, dramatically improves resilience to events.

DER brings resilience to events… along with other benefits

Conformity Assessment Steering Committee –Accelerated Deployment Effort

We need to start a “CASCADE …

Implement a key cross-populated subcommittee structure tasked with answering top priority critical questions and developing goal oriented collaboration from each community:

a. Translate technical/test reqmts into Regulatory impacts (to expose political adoption barriers and resistance points)

b. Translate technical/test reqmts into Financial impacts (to expose economic adoption barriers and resistance points)

c. Develop a Prototype Factory Inspection Process for both Lite and Full versions. Evaluate potential Test Bed sites for Certification Process.

d. Pursue prototypical Pilot implementation(s) that align manufacturers with utilities. [Eg Duke and ABB] for Field Installation Test (system) phase. Include trial certificate issue and data capture.
