What is PD IEC/TS 62746-3 - Systems interface between customer energy management system and the power management system about?
PD IEC/TS 62746 is a series on systems interfaces between the customer energy management system and the power management system. Systems interface the interface is the portion of the system used to connect one system to other systems. PD IEC/TS 62746-3 is a Technical Specification, that establishes an architecture that is supportive of interfaces between the Customer Energy Management System and the Power Management System. A DER Management System can also be a Customer Energy Management System.
Who is PD IEC/TS 62746-3 - Systems interface between customer energy management system and the power management system for?
PD IEC/TS 62746-3 on systems interfaces between the customer energy management system and the power management system is useful for:
- Telecommunication sector
- IT sector
- Energy management plant
- Power management systems
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62746-3 - Systems interface between customer energy management system and the power management system?
The interface between two (or more) systems describes how the systems “communicate” by allowing mass, energy, and information to flow between them. The purpose of PD IEC/TS 62746-3 is to define an architecture for the IEC 62746 series of standards that can be leveraged for the management of customer energy resources and DER. These resources may be a combination of load, generation and storage resources that can be managed to respond to signals provided by the grid and/or market operators. These resources may be identified and managed as individual resources with specific capabilities, or as virtual resources with an aggregated set of capabilities.
The focus of PD IEC/TS 62746-3 is to leverage the Internet for communications between grid operators, market operators, distribution system operators, electricity suppliers, aggregators, service providers and energy resources. PD IEC/TS 62746-3 leverages existing IEC standards. The data model of IEC 62746 is based on the Common Information Model and IEC 61850. IEC 62746 is transport independent. Using PD IEC/TS 62746-3 you can establish an architecture that is supportive of interfaces between the Customer Energy Management System and the Power Management System.
