What is BS EN 62056-1-0- Electricity metering data exchange about?
BS EN 62056 discusses electricity metering data exchange. BS EN 62056-1-0 belongs to BS EN 62056 multi-series and discusses the DLMS/COSEM suite and smart metering standardization framework.
BS EN 62056-1-0 provides information on the smart metering use cases and on architectures supported by the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM series of standards specifying electricity meter data exchange.
Note: Other aspects of metering covered by TC13, like metrological requirements, testing, safety and dependability is out of the scope of BS EN 62056-1-0.
Who is BS EN 62056-1-0- Electricity metering data exchange for?
BS EN 62056-1-0 on electricity metering data exchange is useful for:
- Meter manufacturers
- Software engineers
- Utility providers
Why should you use BS EN 62056-1-0 - Electricity metering data exchange?
With the growing number of smart metering deployments, secure and interoperable data exchange between the different system components becomes essential. Besides supporting the execution of the supplier-consumer contract and providing the necessary billing data the smart meter also becomes the source of valuable information for the efficient operation of the smart grid.
The standards in the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM suite have been constantly improved and extended considering the growing requirements of smart metering and smart grid applications. BS EN 62056-1-0 guides you with a standardization framework including:
- The principles on which the standards shall be developed
- The ways the existing standards shall be extended to support new use cases and to accommodate new communication technologies, while maintaining coherency
- The aspects of interoperability and information security
BS EN 62056-1-0 helps you in selecting the suitable standards for a specific interface within the smart metering system.
