Utility Standards Board

The Utility Standards Board (USB) is a utility industry leader in developing open standards and promoting system interoperability for the Smart Grid. USB is a consortium of utilities working collectively and openly to help shape Smart Grid best practices and accelerate industry efforts to standardize AMI system functionality and communication interfaces.

The USB, with its customer focus, fills a niche not served by existing industry- and government- driven standards organizations. Members receive value through:
  • Collaboration and information sharing

  • Developing solutions directly applicable to their situations

  • Standards development and application

The following USB standards were accepted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the international standards setting organization:

  • Meter headend event codes

  • Remote connect and disconnect

The USB is presently working on standards for:

  • Outage detection and restoration

  • Plug in Electric vehicles (PHEVs)
