The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered

11、by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate

12、both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved wh

13、en all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPER

14、TY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right.

ITU-T G.9958 (03/2018) 3.2 Terms defined in this Recomm

30、endation This Recommendation defines the following terms: 3.2.1 Components 3.2.1.1 HEMS controller: A home energy management system (HEMS) controller is a networking device used to connect home appliances to the home network through a variety of IP and/or non-IP network interfaces. It provides intel

31、ligent functions, such as the monitoring of real-time and/or cumulative power consumption, feedback to users for ecology, etc., for energy management services in conjunction with a home gateway and/or smart meter. 3.2.1.2 HEMS-managed home appliances: HEMS-managed home appliances are devices associa

32、ted with a HEMS controller by IP or non-IP interface. They are managed and controlled by the HEMS controller. Examples of such managed appliances include energy management facilities in the home, such as power conditioners for a photovoltaic (PV) power system, fuel cells, storage batteries, electric

33、 vehicles (EV) / plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHV), air conditioners, lighting equipment, water heaters etc. 3.2.1.3 home gateway: A home gateway is a networking device designated for use in a home which associates a general-purpose network and one or more general-purpose home networks and is responsibl

34、e for the transfer of information between these networks. A home gateway may provide other user-oriented services such as video-on-demand, in addition to generic communication functionality. 3.2.1.4 non-HEMS appliance: A non-HEMS appliance is a device connected to the home network which is not manag

35、ed by a HEMS controller. 3.2.1.5 smart meter: A smart meter is an electronic device that records consumption of electric energy in periodic intervals of an hour (or less) and reports this information to the electric utility for monitoring and billing. A smart meter enables two-way communication betw

36、een the meter and the utility company. In addition to the function of automated meter reading it also can receive and handle control information regarding energy management from the utility, and report power quality monitoring information. The smart meter does not provide open access to its function

37、ality to the users, regardless of its physical installation location (outdoor plant, in-building, in-home etc.). 3.2.2 Networks 3.2.2.1 dedicated home network: A dedicated home network is a local area network deployed in a home in order to connect specific managed home appliances. It is deployed as

38、either a physical network or a logical network and it is independent of the general purpose home network. 3.2.2.2 general purpose home network: A general purpose home network is a local area network deployed in a home. This network provides wired and/or wireless connectivity to any device in the hom

39、e, utilizing mainly IP technologies. This network is positioned as a backbone network in a home for general purpose use. 3.2.2.3 general purpose network: A general purpose network is a wide area network (WAN) which can be used for any legitimate purpose and does not impose any restrictions regarding

40、 its usage. A general purpose network must provide Internet access and may provide additional services such as telephony and video distribution services. 3.2.2.4 utility network: In this Recommendation, a utility network is deployed and managed by an electric utility company for the purposes of elec

41、tric energy management, monitoring and billing. Rec. ITU-T G.9958 (03/2018) 3 4 Abbreviations and acronyms This Recommendation uses the following abbreviations and acronyms: AEM Advanced Energy Management EV Electric Vehicle FTTH Fibre To The Home HEMS Home Energy Management System HES Head End Syst

42、em HGW Home Gateway IoT Internet of Things MDMS Meter Data Management System PHV Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle PV Photo-Voltaic WAN Wide Area Network 5 Conventions In clause 6, the scopes of the descriptions on “Physical configuration“ and “Communication path“ are defined as follows. “Physical configuratio

43、n“: physical connections between the components defined in clause 3. These connections can be categorized by a combination of the networks described in clause 3. “Communication path“: communication flows of data between components across networks. A communication path is a logical configuration prov

44、ided by a combination of physical configurations. Various services for home energy management can be provided over communication paths. 6 Network configurations Home energy management services are provided using the following network configurations. These configurations are the most representative n

45、etwork configurations used to offer home energy management services. Home energy management services must utilize secure communications. This Recommendation mentions the isolation of communication paths as a means to achieve secure communications among various components and assumes that all network

46、s and components provide adequate security features. For example, communication for home energy management services is physically separated from other communications by person, devices and application software for cybersecurity reasons. These configuration is to prevent hackers from injecting harmfu

47、l data and/or programs into the utility network through home network. However, secure communication protocols, their implementation, as well as the set of security features that must be provided by components and networks, are outside the scope of this Recommendation. 6.1 Summary The relationship be

48、tween components and networks are described in Table 1. This table indicates physical configuration. Each row and column in Table 1 denote “network“ and “component“, respectively.
