Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEEE 1377-2012CommitteePublished year2012Description
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.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC TR 61850-1:2013CommitteePublished year2013KeywordsDescription
IEC/TR 61850-1:2013 is applicable to power utility automation systems and defines the communication between intelligent electronic devices in such a system, and the related system requirements. This part gives an introduction and overview of the IEC 61850 standard series. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: extended application scope of the IEC 61850 standard, power quality domain, statistical and historical data, distributed generation monitoring and automation purpose, for substation to substation communication and smart grid considerations.

IEC 61850-7-410:2012+A1:2015 specifies the additional common data classes, logical nodes and data objects required for the use of IEC 61850 in a hydropower plant. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: the logical nodes in IEC 61850-7-410:2007 that were not specific to hydropower plants have been transferred to IEC 61850-7-4:2010; the definitions of logical nodes in this edition of IEC 61850-7-410 have been updated; most of the modelling examples and background information included in IEC 61850-7-410:2007 have been transferred to IEC/TR 61850-7-510. This new edition of IEC 61850-7-410 includes additional general-purpose logical nodes that were not included in IEC 61850-7-4:2010, but are required in order to represent the complete control and monitoring system of a hydropower plant.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61850-6:2009+AMD1:2018 CSV Consolidated versionCommitteePublished year2018Description
IEC 61850-6:2009+A1:2018 specifies a file format for describing communication-related IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) configurations and IED parameters, communication system configurations, switch yard (function) structures, and the relations between them. The main purpose of this format is to exchange IED capability descriptions, and SA system descriptions between IED engineering tools and the system engineering tool(s) of different manufacturers in a compatible way. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows: functional extensions added based on changes in other Parts of IEC 61850, especially in IEC 61850-7-2 and IEC 61850-7-3; functional extensions concerning the engineering process, especially for configuration data exchange between system configuration tools, added; clarifications and corrections. This consolidated version consists of the second edition (2009) and its amendment 1 (2018).

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61850-5:2013CommitteePublished year2013Description
IEC 61850-5:2013 applies to power utility automation systems with the core part of substation automation systems (SAS); it standardizes the communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and defines the related system requirements to be supported. The major technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: extension from substation automation systems to utility automation systems; inclusion of interfaces for communication between substations; requirements from communication beyond the boundary of the substation.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymIEC 61850-3:2013CommitteePublished year2013Description
IEC 61850-3:2013 defines the general requirements, mainly regarding construction, design and environmental conditions for utility communication and automation IEDs (intelligent electronic devices) and systems in power plant and substation environments. These general requirements are in line with requirements for IEDs used in similar environments, for example measuring relays and protection equipment. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: requirements are in line with those of other equipment used in the same environment (e.g. protection relays); product safety added based on IEC 60255-27; EMC requirements completed and in line with IEC 60255 series and IEC 61000-6-5.

Technical committeeTypeAcronymCEN/CLC/ETSI TR 50572:2011CommitteePublished year2011KeywordsDescription
This Technical Report concerns the following communications deliverable within M/441: A European standard comprising a software and hardware open architecture for utility meters that supports secure bidirectional communication upstream and downstream through standardized interfaces and data exchange formats and allows advanced information and management and control systems for consumers and service suppliers. The architecture must be scalable to support from the simplest to the most complex applications. Furthermore, the architecture must consider current relevant communications media and be adaptable for future communication media. The communication standard of the open architecture must allow the secure interfacing for data exchanges with the protected metrological block. Since no single standard can cover all aspects for the full application range of smart metering systems, the deliverable takes the form of this Technical Report. The Technical Report is the second document produced by the Smart Metering Co-ordination Group following acceptance of the Mandate 441 (M/441). The first - a response to the mandate - was issued in December 2009 and provided an overview of the current and future standardization activities, considering both the communications and the additional functionalities of smart meters. Once the standardization activity undertaken in response to Mandate M/441 is complete for both the communications and additional functionality aspects, a final report will be produced providing a list of the finalized standards in both these areas.
