What is DD IEC/TS 61968-2 - System interface for distribution management glossary about?
DD IEC/TS 61968-2 is a part of IEC 61968 that identifies and explains terms and abbreviations used in the remaining parts of IEC 61968. DD IEC/TS 61968-2 glossary, accompanying the IEC 61968 series, is the second part in the series that, taken as a whole, defines interfaces for the major elements of an interface architecture for distribution management systems (DMS).
As used in IEC 61968, a DMS consists of various distributed application components for the utility to manage electrical distribution networks. These capabilities include monitoring and control of equipment for power delivery, management processes to ensure system reliability, voltage management, demand-side management, outage management, work management, automated mapping, and facilities management.
Who is DD IEC/TS 61968-2 - System interface for distribution management glossary for?
DD IEC/TS 61968-2 on System interface for distribution management glossary is useful for:
- The electrical industry
- Electric power networks and transmission
- Information exchange
- Management techniques
- Software engineers and programmers
- Electric power distribution
Why should you use DD IEC/TS 61968-2 - System interface for distribution management glossary?
The IEC 61968 series is intended to facilitate inter-application integration, as opposed to intra-application integration, of the various distributed software application systems, supporting the management of utility electrical distribution networks. Intra-application integration is aimed at programs in the same application system, usually communicating with each other using middleware that is embedded in their underlying runtime environment, and tends to be optimized for close, real-time, synchronous connections and interactive request/reply or conversation communication models. DD IEC/TS 61968-2 is intended to support the inter-application integration of a utility enterprise that needs to connect disparate applications that are already built or new (legacy or purchased applications), each supported by dissimilar runtime environments. Therefore, DD IEC/TS 61968-2 is relevant to loosely coupled applications with more heterogeneity in languages, operating systems, protocols, and management tools.
DD IEC/TS 61968-2 is intended to support applications that need to exchange data on an event-driven basis. DD IEC/TS 61968-2 is intended to be implemented with middleware services that broker messages among applications, and will complement, but not replace utility data warehouses, database gateways, and operational stores. The series of standards will be using a lot of definitions, terms and abbreviations from the area of distribution management as well as from the area of Information and Communication Technology. DD IEC/TS 61968-2 glossary part defines the terms and abbreviations as they are used in the context of this series of standards.
