What is BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 - Generic smart grid requirements about?
BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 is the first part of a multi-series standard that focuses on generic smart grid requirements and grid-related domains. BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 is a series that initiates and illustrates the IEC’s systems approach based on Use Cases and involving the identification of generic smart grid requirements for further standardization work for grid-related domains – i.e., grid management regrouping: transmission grid management, distribution grid management, microgrids and smart substation automation domains.
The Grid management domain groups Use Cases and associated requirements common to the EHV, HV and MV/LV networks operations and the business analysis of the General Electric network life cycle. Use Cases specific to parts of the General Electric network are described in transmission grid management, distribution grid management, microgrids and smart substation automation clauses.
BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 captures possible “common and repeated usage” of a smart grid system, under the format of “Use Cases” to feed further standardization activities. Use Cases can be described in different ways and can represent competing alternatives. From there, BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 derives the common requirements to be considered by these further standardization activities in terms of interfaces between actors interacting with the given system.
Who is BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 - Generic smart grid requirements for?
BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 on the generic smart grid requirements and grid-related domains is useful for:
- Electrical engineers
- Network engineers
- Project co-ordinators
- Electricity providers
- Grid managers
Why should you use BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 - Generic smart grid requirements?
Grid management domains today face several challenges, which tend to significantly change the way their actors operate. The purpose of BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 is to present a business analysis of the grid management, and more specifically to describe some smart grid requirements using the use case approach. Another purpose of BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 is to initiate the process of listing, organizing, making available the Use Cases which carry the smart energy requirements that should be addressed by the IEC core technical standards.
BS IEC SRD 62913‑2‑1 is based on the inputs from domain experts as well as existing materials in a smart grid environment.
