EN IEC 61968-1:2020

Application integration at electric utilities - System interfaces for distribution management - Part 1: Interface architecture and general recommendations

IEC 61968-1:2020 is the first in a series that, taken as a whole, defines interfaces for the major elements of an interface architecture for power system management and associated information exchange. This document identifies and establishes recommendations for standard interfaces based on an Interface Reference Model (IRM). Subsequent clauses of this document are based on each interface identified in the IRM. This set of standards is limited to the definition of interfaces. They provide for interoperability among different computer systems, platforms, and languages. IEC 61968-100 gives recommendations for methods and technologies to be used to implement functionality conforming to these interfaces. As used in IEC 61968, distribution management 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, network model management, facilities management, and metering. The IRM is specified in Clause 3. The IRM defines the high-level view of the TC 57 reference architecture and the detailed in the relevant 61968 series, 61970 series or 62325 series. The goal of the IRM is to provide a common relevant context view for TC 57 that covers domains like transmission, distribution, market, generation, consumer, regional reliability operators, and regulators. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) update of IRM section, which has been out of date since the 2nd edition; b) update to IRM model using ArchiMate modelling language; c) addition of missing business functions and business objects; d) alignment with newly released documents from the technical committee; e) alignment with IEC 61968-100; f) update of annexes.

Integration von Anwendungen in Anlagen der Elektrizitätsversorgung - Systemschnittstellen für Netzführung - Teil 1: Schnittstellenarchitektur und allgemeine Anforderungen

Intégration d'applications pour les services électriques - Interfaces système pour la gestion de la distribution - Partie 1: Architecture des interfaces et recommandations générales

IEC 61968-1:2020 est la première d'une série qui, prise dans son ensemble, définit les interfaces pour les éléments principaux d'une architecture d'interface pour la gestion des systèmes électriques et les échanges d'informations associés. Le présent document identifie et établit des recommandations pour des interfaces normalisées reposant sur un modèle d'interface de référence (IRM). Les articles suivants de ce document reposent sur chaque interface identifiée dans le modèle IRM. Cet ensemble de normes se limite à la définition des interfaces. Celles-ci assurent l'interopérabilité entre les différents systèmes informatiques, plateformes et langages. L'IEC 61968-100 fournit des recommandations concernant les méthodes et technologies à utiliser pour mettre en œuvre une fonctionnalité conforme à ces interfaces. Au sens de l'IEC 61968, la gestion de la distribution repose sur plusieurs composants d'application distribués qui permettent à l'entreprise de gérer ses réseaux de distribution électriques. Ces fonctions incluent la surveillance et la commande des équipements de fourniture d'énergie, les processus de gestion qui assurent la fiabilité du système, la gestion de la tension, la gestion de la demande, la gestion des interruptions de service, la gestion des travaux, la gestion des modèles de réseau, la gestion des installations et le comptage. Le modèle IRM est spécifié à l'Article 3. Le modèle IRM définit la vue générale de l'architecture de référence du CE 57 et la vue détaillée dans la série 61968, 61970 ou 62325 pertinente. L'objectif du modèle IRM est de fournir un contexte pertinent commun pour le CE 57 qui couvre différents domaines comme le transport, la distribution, le marché, la production, les consommateurs et les opérations de fiabilité régionales. Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition parue en 2012. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) mise à jour du paragraphe traitant du modèle d'interface de référence (IRM) qui était obsolète depuis la deuxième édition; b) mise à jour du modèle d'interface de référence à l'aide du langage de modélisation ArchiMate; c) ajout de fonctions métier et d'objets métier manquants; d) alignement sur les documents du comité d'études récemment publiés; e) alignement sur le contenu de l'IEC 61968-100; f) mise à jour des annexes.
