Industrial systems, installations and equipment and industrial products — Structuring principles and reference designations — Part 10: Power supply systems
This document provides rules for structuring of systems in the domain of power supply systems, being supplementary to the general principles for the structuring of systems including structuring of information about systems specified in IEC 81346-1. Based on these principles, rules and guidance are given for the formulation of unambiguous reference designations for objects in any system. The reference designation identifies objects for the purpose of creation and retrieval of information about an object and, where realized, about its corresponding component. A reference designation labelled at a component is the key to finding information about that object among different kinds of documents. The principles are general and are applicable to all technical areas (e.g. mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, construction engineering, process engineering). They can be used for systems based on different technologies or for systems combining several technologies. This document also defines classes for systems and spaces in the field of power supply systems.

ISO 81346-10:2022(E)
Introduction
This document considers and supports planning, erection, utilization and operation of power supply
systems. The application of a reference designation system for power supply systems (RDS-PS) can
lead to restructuring and reorientation of these activities and thereby offers chances and potential of
increasing efficiency and economization.
This document has shifted from the focus of the previous technical specification (ISO/TS 81346-10:2015),
where fixed syntax and focus on coding mechanism were dominant, towards full flexibility in dividing
systems into system elements in a non-fixed manner (i.e. no fixed syntax), using one or more aspects
at the same time to designate objects of interest. Locations can also be designated accordingly
in order to reference the location of objects. Annex E provides a mapping of letter codes between
ISO/TS 81346-10:2015 and this document.
Furthermore, this document is aligned with ISO 81346-12 for construction works (referred to as RDS-
CW), in order to support harmonization of methods and principles for forming reference designations
across the industry-specific applications of the ISO 81346 series.
The following advantages of designation systems in accordance with this document and the
IEC/ISO 81346 series in general will become increasingly important in the future. The following should
be noted:
— The reference designation system can be applied in several technical fields in the same way and is
not designed for one field only. Therefore, process, mechanical, electrical and structural design, for
example, can be treated in the same way, which is a basis for company-wide synergy effects.
— The reference designation system allows for integrating any kind of systems and components
without changing the once-defined designations.
— The reference designation is not bound to a fixed structural pattern. Thus, the designation system
is vertically and horizontally expansible, which can make the interpretability in some cases quite
complex. Therefore, an exact documentation and description of the designation system is important
when it is applied.
— The application of different aspects allows for the designation of system elements by function,
realizing products or location independently of each other.
— The different aspects used for structuring and the possibility of creating relations between objects
represented in these structures offer search and filter criteria and information correlations in a
much greater variety than before.
The users of this document will be able to manage objects and related properties in a more efficient and
consistent way. When implemented, information across various data processing systems can be handled
in an unambiguous way. Other information structures besides those described in this document are:
— organization structures;
— utilization structures;
— cost structures;
— performance structures;
— real estate structures.
This document is applicable for all types of assets used for energy conversion and provision to
transmission, distribution or local energy networks, for example:
— large central conventional or renewable power generation systems
— thermal power plants;

and support the establishment of regional or branch-specific application profiles in order to provide the
required level of interoperability of designations among different stakeholder groups.

Part 10:
Power supply systems
1 S cope
This document provides rules for structuring of systems in the domain of power supply systems,
being supplementary to the general principles for the structuring of systems including structuring of
information about systems specified in IEC 81346-1.
Based on these principles, rules and guidance are given for the formulation of unambiguous reference
designations for objects in any system.
The reference designation identifies objects for the purpose of creation and retrieval of information
about an object and, where realized, about its corresponding component.
A reference designation labelled at a component is the key to finding information about that object
among different kinds of documents.
The principles are general and are applicable to all technical areas (e.g. mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, construction engineering, process engineering). They can be used for systems
based on different technologies or for systems combining several technologies.
This document also defines classes for systems and spaces in the field of power supply systems.

4 Concepts
4.1 General
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, Clause 4, apply.
4.2 Object
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.1, apply.
4.3 Aspect
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.2, apply.
4.4 Systems
4.4.1 General
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.3, apply with the following additions:
In the context of this document, all objects are seen as systems and/or system elements.
The system concept allows a designer to handle wholes (as distinct from parts). By identifying related
systems, the relationships among these can be determined and monitored, for example to ensure that
all systems operate correctly.
Systems and system elements bring together a set of objects for a task that none of the objects can
accomplish on their own.
4.4.2 Power supply systems
Power supply systems are those systems used to convert, transmit, distribute or store energy and to
manage such systems.
Power supply systems shall be classified in accordance with the scheme defined in Annex B, Table B.1.
A power supply system may incorporate another power supply system recursively as one of its elements.

SIST ISO 81346-10:2023
ISO 81346-10:2022(E)
4.4.3 Technical systems
Technical systems are those systems that are not by themselves considered to be power supply systems
but represent technical solutions useful for the realization of a power supply system.
Technical systems shall be classified in accordance with the scheme defined in Annex B, Table B.2.
A technical system may incorporate another technical system recursively as one of its elements.
4.4.4 Component systems
Component systems are systems that are well defined with respect to both their inherent function and
implementation. Component systems are used as part of technical systems and may also be referred to

ISO 81346-10:2022(E)
Introduction
This document considers and supports planning, erection, utilization and operation of power supply
systems. The application of a reference designation system for power supply systems (RDS-PS) can
lead to restructuring and reorientation of these activities and thereby offers chances and potential of
increasing efficiency and economization.
This document has shifted from the focus of the previous technical specification (ISO/TS 81346-10:2015),
where fixed syntax and focus on coding mechanism were dominant, towards full flexibility in dividing
systems into system elements in a non-fixed manner (i.e. no fixed syntax), using one or more aspects
at the same time to designate objects of interest. Locations can also be designated accordingly
in order to reference the location of objects. Annex E provides a mapping of letter codes between
ISO/TS 81346-10:2015 and this document.
Furthermore, this document is aligned with ISO 81346-12 for construction works (referred to as RDS-
CW), in order to support harmonization of methods and principles for forming reference designations
across the industry-specific applications of the ISO 81346 series.
The following advantages of designation systems in accordance with this document and the
IEC/ISO 81346 series in general will become increasingly important in the future. The following should
be noted:
— The reference designation system can be applied in several technical fields in the same way and is
not designed for one field only. Therefore, process, mechanical, electrical and structural design, for
example, can be treated in the same way, which is a basis for company-wide synergy effects.
— The reference designation system allows for integrating any kind of systems and components
without changing the once-defined designations.
— The reference designation is not bound to a fixed structural pattern. Thus, the designation system
is vertically and horizontally expansible, which can make the interpretability in some cases quite
complex. Therefore, an exact documentation and description of the designation system is important
when it is applied.
— The application of different aspects allows for the designation of system elements by function,
realizing products or location independently of each other.
— The different aspects used for structuring and the possibility of creating relations between objects
represented in these structures offer search and filter criteria and information correlations in a
much greater variety than before.
The users of this document will be able to manage objects and related properties in a more efficient and
consistent way. When implemented, information across various data processing systems can be handled
in an unambiguous way. Other information structures besides those described in this document are:
— organization structures;
— utilization structures;
— cost structures;
— performance structures;
— real estate structures.
This document is applicable for all types of assets used for energy conversion and provision to
transmission, distribution or local energy networks, for example:
— large central conventional or renewable power generation systems
— thermal power plants;

plants used for demand response or aggregation) and the designation of related application software.
Due to the natural diversification of international energy infrastructures, this document will enable
and support the establishment of regional or branch-specific application profiles in order to provide the
required level of interoperability of designations among different stakeholder groups.

Industrial systems, installations and equipment and
industrial products — Structuring principles and reference
designations —
Part 10:
Power supply systems
1 S cope
This document provides rules for structuring of systems in the domain of power supply systems,
being supplementary to the general principles for the structuring of systems including structuring of
information about systems specified in IEC 81346-1.
Based on these principles, rules and guidance are given for the formulation of unambiguous reference
designations for objects in any system.
The reference designation identifies objects for the purpose of creation and retrieval of information
about an object and, where realized, about its corresponding component.
A reference designation labelled at a component is the key to finding information about that object
among different kinds of documents.
The principles are general and are applicable to all technical areas (e.g. mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, construction engineering, process engineering). They can be used for systems
based on different technologies or for systems combining several technologies.
This document also defines classes for systems and spaces in the field of power supply systems.

4 Concepts
4.1 General
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, Clause 4, apply.
4.2 Object
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.1, apply.
4.3 Aspect
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.2, apply.
4.4 Systems
4.4.1 General
The requirements of IEC 81346-1:2022, 4.3, apply with the following additions:
In the context of this document, all objects are seen as systems and/or system elements.
The system concept allows a designer to handle wholes (as distinct from parts). By identifying related
systems, the relationships among these can be determined and monitored, for example to ensure that
all systems operate correctly.
Systems and system elements bring together a set of objects for a task that none of the objects can
accomplish on their own.
4.4.2 Power supply systems
Power supply systems are those systems used to convert, transmit, distribute or store energy and to
manage such systems.
Power supply systems shall be classified in accordance with the scheme defined in Annex B, Table B.1.
A power supply system may incorporate another power supply system recursively as one of its elements.

ISO 81346-10:2022(E)
4.4.3 Technical systems
Technical systems are those systems that are not by themselves considered to be power supply systems
but represent technical solutions useful for the realization of a power supply system.
Technical systems shall be classified in accordance with the scheme defined in Annex B, Table B.2.
A technical system may incorporate another technical system recursively as one of its elements.
4.4.4 Component systems
Component systems are systems that are well defined with respect to both their inherent function and
implementation. Component systems are used as part of technical systems and may also be referred to

— Host installation aspect: this location aspect shall be applied to relate the location of an object to
locations inside or on a product or product assembly.
EXAMPLES Locations within or on a cubicle, a console or a panel.
— Site of installation aspect: this location aspect shall be applied to relate the location of an object to a
location defined inside a larger location, irrespective of the existence of physical objects making up
that larger location.
EXAMPLES A site, a construction complex, a construction entity (a building), a part of a building, a storey, a
room, an outside area, a green area, a park area.
4.8.2 Construction complexes
Construction complexes are spaces which are an aggregation of construction entities in the context
of this document. Construction complexes are used to represent spaces, i.e. locations, within the site
installation aspect.
