RE: IEEE p2030.1



Ghery,

From the PAR:
5.2 Scope: The Universal Power Adapter for Mobile Devices (UPAMD) standard
defines a power delivery connection between a power adapter and a power
using device in the 10 Watt to 130 Watt range. A communications link between
the power adapter and the mobile power using device is also defined. The
communications may be used to coordinate the power delivery and provide
identification between the power adapter and the power using device. While
intended for portable computing and entertainment
devices, this standard may also be used with other mobile devices in use
around the office, home or vehicle.

5.4 Purpose: The UPAMD standard creates a common interconnect for power
delivery in the 10W to 130W power range to portable and fixed devices. This
standard supports more universal use and reuse of power adapters replacing
brand specific and model specific power adapters. The UPAMD adapter system
may be usable in portable computing and entertainment systems, security,
household and office equipment within the power range. Universality and
reuse are among the primary driving factors. Communications may support the
adaption of the powered device performance to the power available.

We are still on point. 

Other standards or to-be-imposed requirements must also be uncovered and
applied as necessary for the standard to survive.  I hope there are not many
such requirements. Implications from NIST and Smart Grid efforts need to be
researched and possibly disposed of as not relevant.  

I just do not know the answer at this time. Please help us if you do.

Respectfully;

Scope creep.  I thought the idea of this standard was to come up with a
power supply that all laptops could use, reducing waste.  Boy, are we
allowing this to get out of hand.

What about "synchronizing" UPAMD with 2030.1?
December issue of The Institute brings info about some standards related to
power grid.
2030.1 is about communication between (electric) car and grid.
Also IEEE 1547 interconnecting distributed power-system resources (our case:
wall plug, battery, and similar connections)
