Other IEEE SmartGrid Standards

SmartGrid Interoperability Standards are available online. Collected here are Smart Grid standards from the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) Catalog of Standards and the NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards, Release 3.0 (pdf link). Given the nature and goal of interoperability, most of the standards presented here are part of both the SGIP and the NIST Framework. For further information, please visit the NIST SmartGrid site.

IEEE 1686-2013

IEEE Standard for Intelligent Electronic Devices Cyber Security Capabilities

The functions and features to be provided in intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) to accommodate critical infrastructure protection programs are defined in this standard. Security regarding the access, operation, configuration, firmware revision and data retrieval from an IED are addressed. Communications for the purpose of power system protection (teleprotection) are not addressed in this standard.

IEEE 1815-2012

IEEE Standard for Electric Power Systems Communications-Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3)

The DNP3 protocol structure, functions, and interoperable application options (subset levels) are specified. The simplest application level is intended for low-cost distribution feeder devices, and the most complex for full-featured systems. The appropriate level is selected to suit the functionality required in each device. The protocol is suitable for operation on a variety of communication media consistent with the makeup of most electric power communication systems.

IEEE 1901-2020

IEEE Standard for Broadband over Power Line Networks: Medium Access Control and Physical Layer Specifications

Revision Standard - Active. Physical (PHY) and media access control (MAC) layers of a broadband powerline communication technology for local area networks (LANs), Smart Energy, Smart Grid, Internet of Things, transportation platforms (vehicle) applications, and other data distribution are defined in this standard. The balanced and efficient use of the power line communications channel by all classes of BPL devices is the main focus of this standard, defining detailed mechanisms for coexistence and interoperability between different BPL devices, and ensuring that desired bandwidth and quality of service may be delivered. The necessary security questions are addressed to ensure the privacy of communications between users and to allow the use of BPL for security sensitive services.

IEEE 1588-2019

IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol for Networked Measurement and Control Systems

In this standard, a protocol is defined that provides precise synchronization of clocks in packet-based networked systems. Synchronization of clocks can be achieved in heterogeneous systems that include clocks of different inherent precision, resolution, and stability. The protocol supports synchronization accuracy and precision in the sub-microsecond range with minimal network and local computing resources. Customization is supported by means of profiles. The protocol includes default profiles that permit simple systems to be installed and operated without the need for user management. Sub-nanosecond time transfer accuracy can be achieved in a properly designed network.

IEEE Std 1701-2011

IEEE Standard for Optical Port Communication Protocol to Complement the Utility Industry End Device Data Tables

This standard provides multi-source and "plug and play" environment for the millions of metering devices in the field now and the future using the ANSI Type 2 optical port interface. It solves the problems associated with single source systems and with multi-source systems based upon proprietary communications protocols. Electric, water, and gas utilities and corresponding vendors can realize cost savings which ultimately shall benefit the client consumers of the utilities.

IEEE Std 1702-2011

IEEE Standard for Telephone Modem Communication Protocol to Complement the Utility Industry End Device Data Tables

This standard provides multisource and "plug and play" environment for the millions of metering devices in the field now and in the future using the telephone modem communication interface. It solves the problems associated with single-source systems and with multisource systems based upon proprietary communications protocols. Electric, water, and gas utilities and corresponding vendors can realize cost savings that ultimately shall benefit the client consumers of the utilities.

IEEE Std C37.239-2010

IEEE Standard for Common Format for Event Data Exchange (COMFEDE) for Power Systems

A common format for data files used for the interchange of various types of event data collected from electrical power systems or power system models is defined. Extensibility, extension mechanisms, and compatibility of future versions of the format are discussed. An XML schema is defined. A sample file is given.
