Grid Interoperability Steps into the Real World
If you were to choose one factor that unleashed new markets such as telecomm, personal computing and the Internet, it would be "interoperability standards." The GridWise Architecture Council has been working hard to establish the foundational principles to bring interoperability to the electric system. Now the group is taking steps from theory into the real world, with a November gathering designed to uncover actionable steps toward rapid progress. If you hope to influence future grid standards, or you think you will be impacted by them, you need to be at this meeting to get your voice heard. Details inside.

Why Web Services are Both a Benefit and a Barrier to the Smart Grid
SGN Contributor, Rik Drummond points out that the benefits Web services (WS) offer the Smart Grid in terms of significant savings are lost because software vendors do not provide off-the-shelf interoperable software while competing standards do. This is an example of how the Smart Grid can be stalled if utilities do not insist that software vendors provide interoperability.
