What is PD IEC TS 62872-1 - Smart grid system interface about?
PD IEC TS 62872-1 defines the interface, in terms of information flow, between industrial facilities and the “smart grid”. PD IEC TS 62872-1 identifies, profiles, and extends where required, the standards needed to allow the exchange of the information needed to support the planning, management, and control of electric energy flow between the industrial facility and the smart grid.
PD IEC TS 62872-1 specifically excludes the protocols needed for the direct control of energy resources within a facility where the control and ultimate liability for such control is delegated by the industrial facility to the external entity (e.g., distributed energy resource (DER) control by the electrical grid operator).
Who is PD IEC TS 62872-1 - Smart grid system interface for?
PD IEC TS 62872-1 on smart grid system interface is useful for:
- Power supply agencies
- The automation industry
- Industrial plants
- Government policymakers
- Technology vendors
- Environmental policymakers
Why should you use PD IEC TS 62872-1 - Smart grid system interface?
The World Energy Outlook 2017 reported that industry consumed over 40 % of world electricity generation in 2015. The industry is a major consumer of electric power and in many cases, this consumption can be scheduled to assist in minimizing overall peak demands on the smart grid. In addition, many industrial facilities have an in-house generation or storage resources. These facilities can assist in smart grid load and supply management.
PD IEC TS 62872-1 states the different requirements of the industry for home and building automation interfaces to the smart grid. For industry, the planning of energy resources and production processes are under the responsibility of the facility energy planner and production planner and the operations are under the responsibility of the facility energy operator and production operator. Incorrect operation of a resource could impact the safety of personnel, the facility, the environment or lead to product failure and equipment damage. In addition, larger facilities may have in-house production planning capabilities which might be co-ordinated with smart grid planning, to allow longer-term energy planning. Using PD IEC TS 62872-1 guidelines you can maximize power efficiency.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC TS 62872-1:2019 is the UK implementation of IEC TS 62872- 1:2019 and supersedes PD IEC/TS 62872:2015, which is withdrawn. The technical changes as compared to the first edition published in 2015 are:
- Normative references, Terms and definitions, and Abbreviations were updated
- Subclause 5.1 was reformulated with price-based and incentive-based demand response
- Subclause 5.8.3 “Example of data and data type” was added
- New actors were added in Annex A
- Use cases FG-7xx and FG-8xx were added in Annex A
- Annex B “Use cases of incentive-based DR programs” was added
