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

INTRODUCTION
Historically, utilities were managing the public transmission and distribution network from the
point of view of having a central production adapted to demand variation, a top-down energy
flow, a production/consumption balance done by integrated utility companies and with rather
passive users.
The following key factors are pushing the distribution network to change:
– the increasing number of electronic devices used daily and the growing needs as well as
future needs (e.g. charging electric vehicles) will result in the structural growing of electricity
consumption;
– the mediated pressure on climate change results in pressure on CO emissions reduction;
– the electricity market is also quickly changing due mainly to its unbundling and deregulation,
and to the greater number of intermittent renewable energy sources (global and local);
– users' expectations are also evolving as a result of an increasing need for better distribution
networks reliability and quality, the search for better economic performance and the
willingness to pro-actively manage their energy;
– technological evolution should also be considered as information and communication
technology (ICT) is affordable and new energy storage solutions are emerging.
All stakeholders directly involved in the electricity generation, transmission, distribution and
consumption have new expectations:
– customers are willing to reduce electrical energy costs in order to meet environment targets
(renewable energy, energy efficiency) but also wish to benefit from the quality of electricity
supply;
– suppliers wish to limit customer churn rate with price and service management;
– producers expect to maximize their yield of assets, to optimize their investments and to take
profit from energy trading;
– the aggregator wants to create conditions suitable for new market emergence;
– the transmission system operator (TSO) aspires to a robust transmission network and to
meet regulation objectives (price and level of services), while the distribution system
operator (DSO) wants to meet regulation objectives (price and level of services), to reduce
costs by productivity (including meter) and to have a flexible network;
– finally, governments and regulators are willing to create a competitive and sustainable
energy market.
The objective of this document is to ensure that the low-voltage electrical installation is
compatible with the current and future ways to deliver safely and functionally the electrical
energy to current-using equipment wherever the electrical energy comes from the DSO or local
generation. This document is not intended to influence all stakeholders of electricity supply on
how the electrical energy should be sold and delivered.

82.4 Integration of PEI in its environment
82.4.1 Main objectives
Where a smart grid and an electrical installation interact a dynamic power demand/response
concept should be implemented.
The smart grid has an impact on the electrical installations, thus:
– the consumer shall take into consideration the constraints of the electrical power system
and can adapt its needs (e.g. through time) with the EEMS;
– the design and configuration of the installation may include load shedding and source
selection by the EEMS.
As production of energy from the renewable sources such as PV or wind turbines is intermittent,
a storage capacity may be installed within the PEI to ensure continuity of supply in all modes
without being supplied by the grid, to support stability of the PEI and/or to maximize the self-
consumption in connected mode.
82.4.2 Safety
The implementation of the requirements provided in this document shall not impair the safety
of the PEI, as required by other parts of the IEC 60364 series. In case of change from any
energy supply configuration (e.g. from distribution network supply to local power supplies) all
protective measures shall continue to be operational or shall be automatically replaced by other
standardized protective measures providing an equivalent level of safety.
82.4.3 Proper functioning
The power quality parameters are used to demonstrate reliable operation of the PEI and should
not be outside the allowed operating range for all components in the PEI.
For a non stand-alone PEI, unless otherwise specified, the power quality levels at the point of
connection (POC) shall be in the same range allowed in grid-connected and island mode.
When a PEI is connected to a distribution system, it shall not cause unacceptable disturbances
to the other system users.
IEC 60364-8-82:2022 © IEC 2022 – 13 –
When operating in parallel with the distribution system the PEI shall not cause voltage
fluctuation at the distribution system or result in flicker and rapid voltage changes outside the
ranges defined in the IEC TS 62749.
NOTE See also IEC TS 60364-8-3:2020, Clause 11.
82.5 PEI concept
Any low-voltage PEI shall be considered as a set of electrical equipment having the following
functions (see Figure 1):
– supply (e.g. connection to public power supply, local generator, photovoltaic systems, wind
turbines, electrical energy storage system);
– distribution (e.g. distribution panel, wiring systems);
– consumption (e.g. motors, heating systems, lighting, lifts);
– energy management (e.g. load shedding equipment, monitoring device).
NOTE 1 An electrical energy storage system can be considered as a generator and as a load.
The electrical distribution within the PEI can be in alternating current (a.c), direct current (d.c),
or a combination of both (see examples in Figure 1 and Figure 2), as every low voltage electrical
installation covered by IEC 60364 (all parts).
The electrical installations shall consider both the requests from the DSO and the needs
expressed by the prosumer. An EEMS shall be implemented to combine information and/or data,
from/to the DSO, the availability of energy by the local sources and the prosumer's needs. The
EEMS shall ensure the data security.
An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) shall not be considered as a prosumer when this UPS
does not have a reverse feeding mode to supply energy to current-using equipment in the
upstream part of the electrical installation and/or the distribution network, if any.

The PEI installation owner should, in order to supply electrical loads in the most efficient and
cost-effective way, consider providing a system for supervision and control of the different
power supplies connected to the installation.
Connections shall comply with the IEC 60364 series.
NOTE 2 Specific parts of the IEC 60364 series include, for example, IEC 60364-5-55:2011, Clause 551, for power
supplies; IEC 60364-5-57 for energy storage systems; IEC 60364-7-712 for photovoltaic systems and
IEC 60364-7-722 for supplies for electric vehicles.
Energy locally produced can be used locally or can feed the distribution network. In such a case
the operator of the installation shall be considered as a consumer of electrical energy and as a
producer of electrical energy (prosumer).
