Data center power and cooling infrastructure worldwide wastes more than 60,000,000 megawatt-hours per year of electricity that does no useful work powering IT equipment. This represents an enormous financial burden on industry, and is a significant public policy environmental issue. This paper describes the principles of a new, commercially available data center
architecture that can be implemented today to dramatically improve the electrical efficiency of data centers.
Thirty states in the United States have renewable portfolio standards. The U.S. EPA is targeting many coal plants for shutdown. Electricity rates may rise 50% in five years. Electric vehicles could add significant strain to an aging infrastructure. Wind and solar could add significant instability to power quality and reliability. Demand response (DR) is the answer to remaining globally competitive in an uncertain energy future. Once a novel way to earn extra cash, DR is rapidly becoming a key competitive strategy as utilities realize they must encourage more interaction with customers.

International Standards: The Challenges for an Interoperable Smart GridSchneider Electric
Building an electric energy Smart Grid involves proper interfacing between existing devices, applications and systems – all likely sourced from many different vendors. The resulting interoperability allows valuable advantages, such as the ability to use distribution system demand response (DSDR) to improve the efficiency of delivered power. Interoperability enables automated switching sequences, for system ‘self-healing’ and improved reliability, along with effective integration of distributed renewable and non-renewable resources that can enable peak shaving. Interoperability also is vital for assimilating emerging automation technologies that will enable the utility to realize these benefits in the future – and protect public and private sector technology investments.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines international standards, recognized globally, that characterize interoperability and security of electrical, electronic and related technologies. These standards are created to assure interoperability within all the major power system objects in an electrical utility enterprise and allow mission critical distribution functions to take advantage of real-time data in a secure manner. The IEC standards also enable reliable exchange of data among utilities and across power pools.
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is incorporating IEC standards, and developing new or revised standards, to be applied in its development of a Smart Grid as a national energy goal. This standards framework aims to eliminate the implementation of technologies that might become obsolete prematurely or be implemented without necessary security measures – and help utilities make the infrastructure decisions that reduce cost and energy loss, improve network reliability and embrace technology innovation.
There are many factors in the data center that are driving the new data center design considerations. This slideshare discusses several of the trends in the data center and covers several solutions to implement.
Today’s data centers are virtualized, dynamic and more integral to business success
than ever. In these environments, power demands are growing increasingly volatile and vital to infrastructure and business performance.

3. Industry Standards to make integration with utility business systems easier
• Many disparate systems speaking different protocols
• Legacy systems and mergers increase complexity
– Do not want to replace systems
– Must provide flexibility to work with other systems
• Both Industry Standards, EAI and BPI are necessary to integrate systems
– Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) allows connections at application and data
level
– Business Process Integration (BPI) enables business logic to support processes
– EAI and BPI together enable Business Performance Management (BPM)
– Industry specific standards enable EAI, BPI, and BPM to be leveraged for niche
critical applications extending integration throughout the enterprise.
Standards and middleware improve integration efforts
– Common data and service standards help systems talk the same language
– Enterprise middleware provides a logical separation between business logic and data
integration
4. International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards
• Technical Committee 57 (TC57) is responsible for the development of a set
of model-driven standards for the operations side of energy utilities:
– Communications Protocols:
• IEC60870-6 Telecontrol Application Service Elements #2 (TASE.2)
– Time critical data exchange between utility control centers for
ensuring transmission system reliability
– Control center to power plant for economic dispatch
• IEC61850 for substation automation
– Object oriented protocol for intelligent electronic devices
– Integration:
• IEC61970 Common Information Model (CIM) for power systems
• IEC61970 Generic Interface Definition (GID) integration APIs and
services
• IEC61968 CIM and XML messaging for distribution automation
5. Energy & Utility Standards for Integration
• Provide a common agreement on What data is exchanged
– The Common Information Model (CIM)
• Provide a common agreement on Services to exchange the data
• The Generic Interface Definition (GID)
The benefits of using CIM and GID:
• Access to the vendors, applications, sensors, and the general plant environment that
can be connected to the IBM Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) via off-the-shelf
adapters.
• A service oriented adapter can be fed with data from hundreds of devices and
applications with little or no investment or development.
• Object model abstractions organize the data and give structure to the service actions
that are invoked from business applications to provide the consistent integration
method needed to build off-the-shelf adapters.
• Adaptor approach follows industry standards.
6. Solution Architecture for Energy & Utilities (SAFE) allows
E&Us to become an “on-demand” enterprise
SAFE is an architectural blueprint
