Recommendations for small renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification. General introduction to IEC 62257 series and rural electrification | Status: Revised, Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This part of IEC 62257 first introduces a methodology for implementing rural electrification using small autonomous hybrid renewable energy systems. Secondly it provides a guide for facilitating the reading and the use of the IEC 62257 series for setting up decentralized rural electrification in developing countries or in developed countries the only difference being the level of quality of service and the needed quantity of energy that the customer can afford. The IEC 62257 series is designed as follows:
