The Smart Grid Maturity Model (SGMM) is a management tool that utilities can leverage to plain their smart grid journeys, prioritize their options, and measure their progress as they move toward the realization of a smart grid. Utilities use the SGMM to assess their current state of smart grid implementation, define their goals, and generate inputs into their planning and implementation processes. The SGMM team produces a Smart Grid Maturity Model Update with information about the SGMM community.

Volume 3 of the SGMM update is now available and shares details of the upcoming release of the SGMM V1.2 product suite, which is scheduled for fall 2011. 

Smart Grid Maturity Model Product Suite

Most documents in the Version 1.2 product suite are available to download. To use Version 1.2 for self-assessment and arrange for scoring, please contact SEI Customer Relations. If you have a change request for the model, please use this form to submit the request. Please send any comments or questions about this document or this version to SGMM-comments@sei.cmu.edu. 

• SGMM Model Definition
  the core product suite element that serves as the foundation for the other product suite components
  
• SGMM Matrix
  a summary view of the model domains and expected characteristics
  
• SGMM Compass Assessment Survey
  the survey is designed to collect demographic and performance data and to characterize the status of the responding utility's smart grid implementation in the context of the SGMM. Completing the Compass survey and having it scored provides the utility with a maturity level rating for each domain in the model. In addition, each scoring report includes aggregate data from the other utilities that have completed the Compass survey, which can be used for comparative analysis.
  
• SGMM Navigator Process
  a process developed to help organizations chart a technical, organizational, and operational path through their grid modernization effort.  An SEI-certified SGMM Navigator who brings expertise of both the SGMM product suite and the utility industry facilitates this process. The SEI has a program to certify Navigators.
  

You may download a subset of SGMM Version 1.2 documents after completing a short form and agreeing to the terms.
