Application integration at electric utilities - System interfaces for distribution management - Part 1: Interface architecture and general recommendations
This part of IEC 61968 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.

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.

APPLICATION INTEGRATION AT ELECTRIC UTILITIES –
SYSTEM INTERFACES FOR DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT –
Part 1: Interface architecture and general recommendations
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61968-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
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;
