Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 7-420: Basic communication structure - Distributed energy resources logical nodes

IEC 61850-7-420:2009 defines IEC 61850 information models to be used in the exchange of information with distributed energy resources (DER), which comprise dispersed generation devices and dispersed storage devices, including reciprocating engines, fuel cells, microturbines, photovoltaics, combined heat and power, and energy storage. Utilizes existing IEC 61850-7-4 logical nodes where possible, but also defines DER-specific logical nodes where needed.
