“…The GMLC 1.2.1 project produced a Grid Services Master List that compiled grid operation support functions [Samaan et al 2017]. The GMLC 1.4.2 and 1.2.2 projects identified eight grid services that can be provided by a variety of DER devices [Pratt et al 2020;Widergren et al 2018].…”

“…As mentioned above, earlier GMLC projects have compiled a common set of grid services that spanned both transmission and distribution levels. These include: peak capacity management, autonomous frequency response, capacity market dispatch, traditional frequency regulation, spinning reserve, dynamic frequency regulation, autonomous distribution voltage response, and wholesale market price response [Pratt et al 2020;Widergren et al 2018]. The majority of these grid services exist in today's US wholesale electricity markets but some are emerging grid service concepts.…”

This document is prepared as part of the Department of Energy's Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium (GMLC) 2.5.2 project, whose goal is to develop and socialize a common set of grid service definitions relevant to grid-related interactions with distributed energy resources (DER: responsive generation, storage, and loads), and to advance the concept and requirements of the Energy Services Interface (ESI) to the point of launching related interface standards and guides that can be implemented in communication protocols and business process definitions. The notion of "grid services" is integral to the definition of an ESI because a key principle of the ESI is that it permits coordination between grid operators and DER facilities in a way that is service-oriented, with an understanding of performance expectations.This document reviews the current state of grid service definitions, including those actively used in the market today as well as new services that have been proposed for future implementation. The document describes grid services used in transmission as well as distribution systems. In defining grid services, this document also distinguishes between two fundamental concepts: an "operational objective" and a "grid service," which describes a generator's or customer's expected physical performance in delivering power to or consuming power from the grid.

“…In addition to incorporating cybersecurity solutions and protection measures already established in the IT sector into connected equipment and control systems, as well as properly educating and training building owners and operators on IT and cybersecurity best practices, new control algorithms moving forward need to be developed from the onset of design with consideration for implementing cybersecurity schemes to ensure compatibility. While a balance between functionality and security is necessary, interoperability can also assist by identifying, addressing, and upgrading against attacks and evolving threats resulting from the reduction interfaces and translation layers on a frequent, consistent, and coordinated basis (Widergren et al 2018).…”

Sensors, actuators, and controllers, which collectively serve as the backbone of cyberphysical systems for building energy management, are one of the core technical areas of investment for achieving the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Building Technologies Office's (BTO's) goals for energy affordability in the national building stock-both commercial and residential. In fact, an aggregated annual energy savings of 29% is estimated in the commercial sector alone through the implementation of efficiency measures using current state-of-the-art sensors and controls to retune buildings by optimizing programmable settings based on occupant schedules and comfort requirements, as well as detecting and diagnosing equipment operation and installation problems (Fernandez et al. 2017).
