What is IEEE 2030.5?

IEEE 2030.5, also known as Smart Energy Profile (SEP) 2.0, is a communication protocol standard for smart grid devices. It enables interoperability between devices like smart meters, electric vehicles, inverters, and home energy management systems, allowing them to communicate securely and exchange information about energy usage, pricing, and availability. It's commonly used for demand response programs, enabling utilities to manage energy consumption and for consumers to optimize their energy use.
