Part 1: Guidelines for microgrid projects planning and specification

AMENDMENT 1
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 62898-1:2017 has been prepared by subcommittee 8B: Decentralized
electrical energy systems, of IEC technical committee 8: System aspects of electrical energy
supply.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
8B/165/DTS 8B/179/RVDTS
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.

This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62898 series, published under the general title Microgrids, can be
found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Replace the second paragraph, beginning with "This part of IEC 62898 defines the guidelines
for the general planning and design of microgrids"with the following new text.
This part of IEC 62898 defines the guidelines for the general planning and design of microgrids,
IEC TS 62898-2 defines the general technical requirements for operation and control of
microgrids, IEC TS 62898-3-1 defines the technical requirements for protection and dynamic
control of microgrids, IEC TS 62898-3-2 defines the technical requirements for energy
management systems of microgrids, IEC TS 62898-3-3 defines the technical requirements for
self-regulation loads of microgrids, and IEC TS 62898-3-4 defines the technical requirements
for microgrid monitoring and control systems. IEC TC8/SC8B/JWG1 is responsible for the
development of these TS.
3 Terms and definitions

Add, after the first paragraph, the following new text:
The calculation of the economic benefits should also consider the net present value, where the

The costs of power plants are assessed according to their variable and fixed costs. The
simplified linear equation given in Formula (1) shows the cost function:
