Smart Metering

In this amendment to IEEE Std 802.15.4-2011, outdoor low-data-rate, wireless, smart metering utility network requirements are addressed. Alternate PHYs are defined as well as only those MAC modifications needed to support their implementation.

Common structures are provided in this standard for encoding data in communication between End Devices (meters, home appliances, IEEE 1703 Nodes) and Utility enterprise collection and control systems using binary codes and Extensible Markup Language (XML) content. The Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) and SmartGrid requirements are addressed as identified by the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability of the U.S. Department of Energy and by the Smart Metering Initiative of the Ontario Ministry of Energy (Canada) and of Measurement Canada. Sets of tables are exposed that are grouped together into sections that pertain to a particular feature-set and related function such as Time-of-use, Load Profile, Security, Power Quality, and more. Each standard Table Set (Data Model) can be expanded or restricted by the Manufacturer of the IEEE 1377 Device or home appliance using XML/TDL descriptive registered syntax (XML-based Table Definition Language) and enterprise data-value management using EDL (Exchange Data Language) in a manner that is machine readable. Published jointly with NEMA and Measurement Canada, Tables are provided in support of Gas, Water, and Electric sensors and related appliances. Tables are also provided for network configuration and management by referencing its companion standard IEEE Std 1703TM-2012. IEEE Std 1377-2012 is co-published as ANSI C12.19 and MC12.19.

Provides all the information specific to the management DLMS server of the protocols described in IEC 62056-31, 62056-41 and 62056-51. This publication is a Technical Report type 2.

Describes an architectured application layer used for communication with metering equipment. The associated physical medium and lower layer protocols in a collapsed three-layer model are unspecified. The DLMS protocol is covered by IEC 61334-4-41. This is a Technical Report type 2.

IEC 62056-5-3:2017 specifies the DLMS/COSEM application layer in terms of structure, services and protocols for DLMS/COSEM clients and servers, and defines rules to specify the DLMS/COSEM communication profiles. It defines services for establishing and releasing application associations, and data communication services for accessing the methods and attributes of COSEM interface objects, defined in IEC 62056-6-2 using either logical name (LN) or short name (SN) referencing. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition of IEC 62056-5-3, published in 2016. It constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex K (Informative).

Specifies the data link layer for connection-oriented, HDLC-based, asynchronous communication profile. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2002) and its amendment 1 (2006). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication. This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid.

IEC 62056-3-1:2013 describes three profiles for local bus data exchange with stations either energized or not. For non-energized stations, the bus supplies energy for data exchange. Three different profiles are supported: - base profile; - profile with DLMS; - profile with DLMS/COSEM. The three profiles use the same physical layer and they are fully compatible, meaning that devices implementing any of these profiles can be operated on the same bus. The transmission medium is twisted pair using carrier signalling and it is known as the Euridis Bus. This first edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62056-31, issued in 1999, and constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes are: - addition of a profile which makes use of the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM Application layer and COSEM object model, - review of the data link layer which is split into two parts: a pure Data Link layer; a "Support Manager" entity managing the communication media; - ability to negotiate the communication speed, bringing baud rate up to 9 600 bauds.

Describes hardware and protocol specifications for local meter data exchange. In such systems, a hand-held unit (HHU) or a unit with equivalent functions is connected to a tariff device or a group of devices. This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid.

IEC 62056-1-0:2014 provides information on the smart metering use cases and on architectures supported by the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM series of standards specifying electricity meter data exchange. It describes the standardization framework including: - the principles on which the standards shall be developed; - the ways the existing standards shall be extended to support new use cases and to accommodate new communication technologies, while maintaining coherency; - the aspects of interoperability and information security. It also provides guidance for selecting the suitable standards for a specific interface within the smart metering system.

This European Standard specifies a data model to abstract the metering world towards a simple external. The data model, as described by means of functional blocks contained in this European Standard, lays down the format of metering data.
