Business Case Outline • • • Executive Summary – Having a more harmonized weather exchange model among the many current formats increases interoperability, improves data quality, and reduces the cost of acquisition of weather information which allows more resources to be devoted to innovative uses of weather. Who are we? – The Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) accelerates the implementation of interoperable smart grid devices and systems. The Challenge – Detailed knowledge of weather – current, historical, and forecasted – can provide the basis for Smart Grid stakeholders to optimize current and future operations and to mitigate disruption and damage from adverse weather events. Why Harmonized Weather Standards Will Help – In order to exploit weather data, it must first be acquired analyzed. The process of data acquisition itself is purely overhead and does not provide any direct value. Value comes from analysis of weather data once obtained. What Will Drive This Forward – Stakeholders in an open weather data ecosystem will thrive with harmonized and lowimpedance availability of data for exchange 10/29/2021 Accelerating Grid Modernization More information available on SGIP. org 11 p: 781 -876 -8857 | e: info @SGIP. org
