PC 126 - Binary power generation systems

PC 126 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "Binary power generation systems" and is responsible for: Define the normalized conditions that can estimate the power generation efficiency of the binary power generation system based on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), and specify the safety requirements on the systems with less than 500 kW capacity which are using hot water created by renewable energy or wasted heat in the industrial field NOTE: Projects with applications in the field of rotating machines, steam turbines and solar thermal electric fields will be coordinated with IEC TC 2; Rotating machinery, IEC TC5; Steam turbines, and IEC TC117; Solar thermal electric plant, including their relevant SCs respectively using the cooperation modes defined in the ISO/IEC Directives. This committee has published 2 standards.

PC 126 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Define the normalized conditions that can estimate the power generation efficiency of the binary power generation system based on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), and specify the safety requirements on the systems with less than 500 kW capacity which are using hot water created by renewable energy or wasted heat in the industrial field NOTE: Projects with applications in the field of rotating machines, steam turbines and solar thermal electric fields will be coordinated with IEC TC 2; Rotating machinery, IEC TC5; Steam turbines, and IEC TC117; Solar thermal electric plant, including their relevant SCs respectively using the cooperation modes defined in the ISO/IEC Directives. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this technical committee.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.

A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
