Energy and data interfaces of users connected to the smart grid with other smart grid stakeholders - Standardization landscape

IEC SRD 63268:2020(E) depicts a comprehensive standardization landscape of the interfaces between the main grid stakeholders and the grid users, grid users comprising DERs and Customer Premises.
This document considers the main "physical" and "logical" interactions (i.e. through wires/functions – power and/or communication) between grid users and grid stakeholders, both from an electrical standpoint and from a data standpoint. Then for each interaction type, the document presents the standardization landscape.
This document depicts, as well, the interactions between the grid stakeholders manipulating grid user related data, themselves. Effectively it appears that considering the sole landscape of the interfaces between the grid users and the grid would be very limited without considering the way the data attached to grid users are manipulated/managed within and between the different stakeholders holding these data. Providing a seamless vision of the management of these data is becoming of highest priority.
The document focuses exclusively on Distribution grid users, excluding as such "bulk generation" grid users and "transmission connected grid users", the main reason being that the main breakthrough resulting from the introduction of distributed energy resources affects mostly the Distribution grid users.
This document mostly focuses on establishing the standardization landscape for the considered domain, including the IEC entities involved in producing reports, technical specifications and standards related to it. From this assessment a first set of recommendations is issued related to the way IEC addresses this scope.

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.

INTRODUCTION
One of the main impacts of the smart grid and/or the smart energy grid is the increasing
interactions between the grid users and the other energy-related stakeholders.
The main driver remains the introduction of renewables to the grid which makes the grid
operation much more complex, but other drivers are also the consequences of the digitalization
trend and the coupling with energy efficiency and greener energy trends.
All these new interactions and trends make the interface between grid users and the other
stakeholders more complex, and it is the ambition of this document is to build this new
landscape.
It is in some way very close to the objective of the IEC TR 63097 [1] smart grid standardization
roadmap, with however a clear focus on the area related to interfacing the grid users, and also
the objective to map the roles of the different IEC entities coping with this objective.
This document aims as well at providing an entry point for solving the situation 7.
S‑HBES/BACS-1 of the IEC SRD 63199 SyC Smart Energy development plan established by
the IEC SyC Smart Energy WG 2.
As decided in the Worcester joint IEC SyC SE WG 2/WG 3 meeting, in June 2018, addressing
this point will need to get a global landscape of the grid user interface, and restricted neither to
demand-response type of interface (which is just one type of interface) nor to home and
buildings (except for the internal implementation of DER unit hosted within this grid user, all
interfaces seem common to all types of grid user).
It will serve as well the IEC TR 63097 roadmap update but will also be a source for the SGAM
(IEC SRD 63200 [2]) currently under development by the IEC SyC SE WG 6.

STANDARDIZATION LANDSCAPE
1 Scope
This document depicts a comprehensive standardization landscape of the interfaces between
the main grid stakeholders and the grid users, grid users comprising DERs and Customer
Premises.
This document considers the main "physical" and "logical" interactions (i.e. through
wires/functions – power and/or communication) between grid users and grid stakeholders, both
from an electrical standpoint and from a data standpoint. Then for each interaction type, the
document presents the standardization landscape.
This document depicts, as well, the interactions between the grid stakeholders manipulating
grid user related data, themselves. Effectively it appears that considering the sole landscape of
the interfaces between the grid users and the grid would be very limited without considering the
way the data attached to grid users are manipulated/managed within and between the different
stakeholders holding these data. Providing a seamless vision of the management of these data
is becoming of highest priority.
The document focuses exclusively on Distribution grid users, excluding as such "bulk
generation" grid users and "transmission connected grid users", the main reason being that the
main breakthrough resulting from the introduction of distributed energy resources affects mostly
the Distribution grid users.
This document mostly focuses on establishing the standardization landscape for the considered
domain, including the IEC entities involved in producing reports, technical specifications and
standards related to it. From this assessment a first set of recommendations is issued related
to the way IEC addresses this scope.

4 Executive summary
4.1 General
Interfacing the grid users requires consideration of many kinds of interfaces, with many links
linking them together, and where consistency is key.
This document concludes with many needed improvements on how IEC addresses the situation,
unfortunately with a too much siloed approach. It lists a series of recommendations for better
supporting the domain, and especially by better bridging some IEC activities. This appears to
be a prerequisite for reaching the needed consistency between all IEC productions and limiting
overlaps and different ways for treating the same subjects.
4.2 IEC entities involvement summary
4.2.1 General
Table 1 below summarizes the main IEC entities involved in managing grid user related
interfaces, sorted by type of interface (refers to the interactions breakdown exposed in 5.4).
Cybersecurity is fully part of the considered interfaces, however this aspect is not treated in
this document but fully addressed in IEC Technology Report "Cyber security and resilience
guidelines for the smart energy operational environment" [9] . All references to cybersecurity
standardization activities or standards are thus voluntarily omitted.
NOTE The standards related to non-specific cross-cutting technologies such as EMC, quality, safety, security, low
layers communication protocols, are not considered in this approach. They can be found in the IEC TR 63097 [1]
roadmap document.

4.2.2 Main gaps
This list of gaps and their ranking will be developed in a future edition of IEC SRD 63268,
logically worked after the publication of this document.
4.2.3 Standardization entity coordination improvement
The detailed assessment provided in Annex A to Annex E helps identifying some needed
coordination between entities working on the same areas or having de facto common interfaces.
The list below sums up the results of this assessment but also suggests recommendations for
a more consistent standardization approach of the domain. A few of them are marked with a
"high importance" statement, for these cases these interactions are considered as essential for
the production of a consistent set of standards.
1) Coordination between TC 57 WG 13/WG 14 and TC 57 WG 17 mostly around a common
modelling approach of DER from both IEC CIM and IEC 61850 [22] sides. A joint TF is
effectively already in place under IEC TC 57 WG 19 aiming at reaching that goal (results
should be formalized in IEC 62361-102).
2) Coordination between TC 8/SC 8A/SC 8B and TC 95 on grid codes related functions,
especially in frequency measurements. Already in place through the IEC TC 8/TC 85
JWG 12 (joint as well with TC 85 and SC 77A).

– 14 – IEC SRD 63268:2020 © IEC 2020
3) Coordination between TC 8/SC 8A/SC 8B and TC 57 WG 17 on grid codes functions. This
would need a better formalization, although some informal exchanges have already taken
place.
4) Coordination between TC 8/SC 8A/SC 8B. Already in place and formalized in the IEC TC 8
SBP.
5) Coordination between TC 8/SC 8A/SC 8B and TC 64, TC 82, TC 88, TC 120, TC 69 on Grid
code implementation and other grid connection requirements. This coordination process
has started with the establishment of the IEC TC 8 JWG 10 joint with TC 120, TC 82, the
other TCs being in the process of setting up equivalent liaisons.
6) Coordination between TC 57 WG 21, TC 57 WG 17 activities dealing with demand-response
and flexibilities. In that respect the border between the usage of IEC CIM and the usage of
IEC 61850 [22] seems very difficult to position, and thus it is more likely to have both
modelling techniques supporting the same features. Joint meetings between these 2 bodies
took place, however the consistency of their deliveries together with the points addressed
in Annex A would need a real formalization.
7) Coordination between TC 88/TC 57 JWG 25 and TC 57 WG 17. Some joint meetings were
set up and are still to be encouraged.
8) Coordination between TC 69/TC 57 JWG 11 and TC 57 WG 17. Quite active liaisons are
already in place with cross reporting and contribution. However, JWG 11 still suffers from a
lack of representative of experts reflecting the DER aspect of the EV. The problem is known
and mitigation should take place to overcome the issue.
9) High importance. Coordination between TC 57 WG 21, TC 57 WG 17 activities and the
SC 23K and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25 dealing with demand-response and flexibilities. This
would need to be set up.
10) High importance. Coordination between TC 69/TC 57 JWG 11 and SC 23K and
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25, to facilitate the integration of EV and its charging system into a
HBAC/HBES.
11) Coordination between TC 57 WG 21, TC 57 WG 17 to consider hierarchical approach of
DERs/microgrids. Already engaged – refer to 6).
12) Coordination between TC 57 WG 21, TC 57 WG 17 and the SC 23K and ISO/IEC
JTC 1/SC 25 dealing with operating flexibilities inside the building. This would need to be
set up – refer to 9).
13) High importance. Coordination between TC 57 WG 21, TC 57 WG 17 activities and the
IEC TC 65–ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 JWG 17 and dealing with demand-response and
flexibilities. This would need to be set up.
14) Coordination between TC 69/TC 57 JWG 11 and TC 65, to facilitate the integration of EV
and its charging system into industrial process control systems.
15) Coordination between SC 8B and TC 88/TC 57 JWG 25 on operating wind farms in
microgrids.
16) Coordination between SC 8B and TC 57 WG 17 on operating DERs in microgrids.
