Interoperability
SG = interconnection of different power gener
ators, distribution networks, and consumers
Connect them regardless of physical medium,
manufacturer, device types
Likely that multiple comm. technologies coexist
Devices: Bluetooth, UWB
Home/local: Zigbee, WiFi
Meter-Utility: 3G/4G
Security
Stuxnet worm: targets only Siemens SCAD
