General Information
Overview
EN IEC 62909-2:2019 - published by CLC/CENELEC and aligned with IEC 62909-2:2019 - defines the interface requirements between bi-directional grid‑connected power converters (GCPC) and specific distributed energy resources (DER): electric vehicles (EV), battery systems, and photovoltaic (PV) systems. This Part 2 standard is intended to be used together with IEC 62909-1:2017, supplementing or modifying the general requirements there to ensure safe, interoperable GCPC interfaces for DER applications such as vehicle‑to‑grid (V2G), battery storage integration and PV export/import.
Key Topics
- Scope and relationship to IEC 62909-1: Part 2 provides additional, resource‑specific requirements; clauses either add to or replace corresponding clauses in IEC 62909-1.
- EV interface (Clause 101): requirements cover earth‑fault detection on DC ports, protection against electric shock, EV coupler and charging cable assembly, isolation strategies (isolated/non‑isolated DC/DC), connection/disconnection, self‑start behavior and test procedures.
- Battery system (BS) interface (Clause 102): covers system configuration, voltage/current ranges, control port requirements, functional safety for control interfaces and installation considerations.
- PV interface (Clause 103): includes protection requirements such as arc‑fault mitigation and PV‑specific safety measures.
- Performance, hazard protection and testing: common performance, test, marking and information requirements are retained from Part 1 where applicable, with additional test procedures and figures/tables specific to DER interfaces (e.g., earth‑fault detection circuits, interface circuits).
- Documentation and interoperability: specifies required information for selection, installation and compliance testing to support harmonized deployment.
Applications
EN IEC 62909-2 is practical for:
- Manufacturers of bi‑directional inverters and integrated GCPC devices implementing EV charging/discharging, battery ESS and PV interfaces.
- EV charger and V2G system designers ensuring safe DC‑side interfaces, isolation and communication.
- Battery system integrators verifying control‑port safety, voltage/current compatibility and functional safety.
- PV inverter vendors implementing PV‑specific protection (e.g., arc‑fault).
- Test laboratories, certification bodies and grid operators assessing compliance, interoperability and safety for DER interconnection.
Adoption of EN IEC 62909-2 helps stakeholders achieve interoperable, safe and testable GCPC‑to‑DER interfaces, supporting large‑scale integration of EVs, battery storage and PV in smart grids.

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 IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

power supplies, of IEC technical committee 22: Power electronic systems and equipment.
This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 62909-1:2017.
The clauses of particular requirements in this document supplement or modify the
corresponding clauses in IEC 62909-1:2017. Where the text of subsequent clauses indicates
an "addition" to or a "replacement" of the relevant requirement, test specification or
explanation of IEC 62909-1:2017, these changes are made to the relevant text of
IEC 62909-1:2017. Where no change is necessary and the clause is applicable, the words
"The provisions of IEC 62909-1:2017, Clause XX shall apply" are used. Additional clauses,

INTRODUCTION
In order to optimize power consumption, for example, within the nanogrid of a home,
electricity generation should be optimally combined with rechargeable energy storage. This
optimization is accomplished, in part, by providing an efficient transfer between DC and AC
electricity to accommodate storage batteries. The IEC 62909 series describes a bi-directional
grid-connected power converter (GCPC) which efficiently integrates sources of power
generation with energy storage.
IEC 62909-1 defines common general requirements, independent from the special
characteristics of individual applications. This document defines the additional requirements
necessary for interfacing particular types of distributed energy resources to a GCPC.
