IEC TC57 “Power System Management and Associated Information Exchange” Current and Future Smart Grid Standardization Activities

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

T. Lefebvre (Chairman), H. Englert (Secretary) IEC TC57 “Power system management and associated information exchange” Current and future smart grid standardization activities

Objective and Scope of IEC TC57 To provide interoperability standards for the information exchange within and to power systems This includes communication interfaces, information security and data model specifications covering power utility automation (protection, substation automation, distribution automation), DER management, SCADA, energy management systems (EMS), distribution management systems (DMS), market communication as well as information exchange between power system and home-, building- and industry automation. Key Figures Reference Architecture . Established in 1964 . IEC/TR 62357-1 defines the standards’ framework of TC57 . 130 standard documents published . Provides basis for implementation strategies and architecture . More than 530 experts development for project realizations . 32 member and 12 observer countries . 28 active liaisons (16 internal, 2 type A, 10 type D) . 41 projects in development . 13 active working groups, 2 joint working groups (with TC13 and TC88) Strategy

. Apply use case and requirements oriented approach for standards development . Open proprietary structures by standardization of data exchange interfaces among IT systems and software applications, avoid to standardize applications them selves

. Use of state of the art standard information and communication technology platforms wherever available and applicable . Ensure quality, consistency and compatibility of TC57 standards portfolio Structure Core Semantic Standards for Smart Grid WG03 Telecontrol protocols The Common Information Model (CIM) (IEC 61968, IEC 61970 and IEC 62325 WG09 Distribution automation using distribution line carrier systems series) and IEC 61850 series, have been recognized as pillars for realization of WG10 Power system IED communication and associated data models the Smart Grid objectives of interoperability and device management.
