This document discusses the relevance of device management standards in smart micro grids. It outlines how the TR-069 protocol standard, used for large-scale IP service rollouts since 2005, could be transferred to grid control. TR-069 enables one million devices per server, high performance with thousands of transactions per second using off-the-shelf technology. It provides a stable standardization of data models that has been consistent for years and allows for application lifecycle management and business data security.
