Smart grid is an upgrade of 20th century power grids that are grafted with information technology to manage energy consumption efficiently and conveniently. For the realization of smart grid technology in buildings, industries home, etc; a AMI(Advanced Metering Infrastructure) and smart controllers are necessary to support and interface with various existing electric power industry networks and protocols from different manufacturers worldwide. However presently it is difficult for a smart controller to support all type of various network protocols. For the solution to this problem; IEEE 1451 standard based structure and interfacing method of smart controller is proposed for connecting various electric power industry networks.
