RE: UPAMD and IEEE 2030
Thanks Piotr for sharing the P2030 info.
I was part of the P2030 Task Force.
My understanding is P2030 does not specify any protocols but interoperability to allow different domain to communicate and exchange.
The utility industry is in such a flux, old and familiar entities might not exist in the future.
Who supply power (might not be utility alone) and who use power paradigm will change in the future. It is predicted that 45% of utility work force in engineering will retire in the next 5 years, new work force will be ones who grew up in the internet and digitization age.

I think we all should read IEEE 2030, as UPAMD protocol is one of protocols from 2030.
We are talking about such 2030 entities as:
AC Loads - Loads on customer site using ac electric power
DC Loads - Loads on customer site using dc electric power
Customer Substation - Electrical transmission or distribution substation located at customer facility that converts power to distribution voltage levels, which are then distributed within the customer site. Contains infrastructure necessary to control, monitor, and protect the electrical distribution system. Facility may include transformers, buss work, circuit breakers, capacitor banks, etc.
Customer Distributed Energy Resource - Customer DER includes demand response, generation, and energy storage located on and connected to the customer electrical system. Customer generation or storage that is connected to the transmission system is considered in the Bulk Generation domain (similar to our UPAMD hub)
And protocols:
PS57 Customer Substation AC Loads Provides for intra-facility monitoring and control of ac loads. Interfaces include those for protection, control, and monitoring.
PS58 Customer Substation DC Loads Provides for intra-facility monitoring and control of dc loads. Interfaces include those for protection, control, and monitoring.
PS63 Customer DER AC Loads Provides for information exchange and control DERs and ac loads internally at the customer. Interfaces include those for protection, control, and monitoring.
PS64 Customer DER DC Loads Provides for information exchange and control DERs and dc loads internally at the customer. Interfaces include those for protection, control, and monitoring.
UPAMD protocol should be (could be) superset of PS* protocols, i.e. every information that is to be transferred in 2030 should be transferred in UPAMD also.
