Benefits
they buy.
MultiSpeak Collaboration of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Common Information Model (CIM) Officially adopted by the IEC Benefits Easy integration of sub systems Vendor neutral non-proprietary interface
ZigBee Maintained by the ZigBee Alliance OPEN HAN Task force of Open AMI user community which addresses standards for the Home Area Network
Benefits of Standardization
Utilities Interoperability Flexibility to build new partnership with competitive vendors Plug n play components Reduced cost and time for implementation of system Vendors Easy integration of products with other vendors products Reduces risk of market acceptance Consumers Choices for competitive energy appliances Offers ability to choose services
Setting of standards Considerable time Backward compatibility issue Legacy systems Huge investments Fear of cost recovery with new systems Technology Gets bounded by guidelines and frameworks Proprietary technologies Loses market hold/monopoly if any
Interfaces for proprietary technology Pilot projects based on standards Consider Legacy solutions while defining frameworks Scalable design of the components R&D to find alternate solutions for technical constraints
