ETSI Approves Open Smart Grid Protocol (OSGP)

ETSI, the European standards organization, published two specifications aimed at accelerating the deployment of Smart Grid technologies.


The two OSGP specifications that originated with ESNA and were published by ETSI for global use are:


Group specification GS OSG 001: Open Smart Grid Protocol. Produced by the ETSI Open Smart Grid Industry Specification Group, this application layer protocol can be used with multiple communication media.


Technical specification TS 103 908: Powerline Telecommunications (PLT); BPSK Narrow Band Power Line Channel for Smart Metering Applications. This specification defines a high-performance narrow band powerline channel for control networking in the smart grid that can be used with multiple smart grid devices. It was produced by the ETSI Technical Committee for Powerline Telecommunications (TC PLT).
