    Definition
  • Describes an architectured application layer used for communication with metering equipment. The associated physical medium and lower layer protocols in a collapsed three-layer model are unspecified
  • Provides all the information specific to the management DLMS server of the protocols described in IEC 62056-31, 62056-41 and 62056-51
  • IEC/TS 62257-1:2013 introduces a methodology for implementing rural electrification using small autonomous hybrid renewable energy systems. It also provides a guide for facilitating the reading and the use of the IEC 62257 series for setting up decentralized rural electrification in developing(...)
  • Proposes a methodological approach for the setting up and carrying out of socio-economic studies as part of the framework of decentralized rural electrification projects. Also provides some structures as technical solutions that could be recommended, depending on the qualitative and(...)
  • Proposes a framework for project development and management and includes recommended information that should be taken into consideration during all the steps of the electrification project. Also provides information on the responsibilities involved in the implementation of rural power systems.
  • Provides a method for describing the results to be achieved by the electrification system independently of the technical solutions that could be implemented. Lists the functional requirements that shall be achieved by the production and distribution subsystems.
  • Specifies the general requirements for the protection of persons and equipment against electrical hazards to be applied in decentralised rural electrification systems. Requirements dealing with protection against electric shock are based on the rules taken from IEC 61140 and IEC 60364.
  • Describes the various rules to be applied for acceptance, operation, maintenance and replacement of decentralized rural electrification systems which are designed to supply electric power for sites which are not connected to a large interconnected system, or a national grid, in order to meet(...)
  • IEC/TS 62257-7:2008(E) specifies the general requirements for generators (maximum power = 100 kVA) in decentralized rural electrification systems. Points out the main items that must be considered when selecting, sizing, installing, operating and maintaining this equipment.
  • IEC/TS 62257-7-1:2010(E) specifies the general requirements for the design and the safety of generators used in decentralized rural electrification systems. Provides requirements for ELV and LV PV arrays.
  • IEC/TS 62257-7-3:2008(E) specifies the general requirements for the selection, sizing, erection and operation of generator sets in decentralized rural electrification systems. Applies to all low voltage combustion engine electricity generator sets with a rated power up to 100 kVA, and designed(...)
  • Proposes simple, inexpensive, comparative tests in order to discriminate easily, in a panel of automotive flooded lead-acid batteries the most acceptable model for PV Individual Electrification Systems.
  • IEC 62257-9-1:2008(E) applies to a micropower plant which is the electric energy generation subsystem associated with a decentralized rural electrification system. It provides general requirements for the design, erection and operation of micropower plants and general requirements to ensure(...)
  • Specifies the general requirements for the design and the implementation of microgrids used in decentralized rural electrification to ensure the safety of persons and property and their satisfactory operation according to the scheduled use.
  • Specifies the general requirements for the design and the implementation of the interface equipment within the user's installation which connects to a microgrid or the generating part of a standalone system.
  • Specifies the general requirements for the design and the implementation of a user's installation. Applies to single phase user's electrical installations with maximum power of 500 VA, in decentralized rural electrification systems.
  • IEC/TS 62257-9-5:2013(E) applies to stand-alone rechargeable electric lighting appliances or kits that can be installed by a typical user without employing a technician. This technical specification presents a quality assurance framework that includes product specifications (a framework for(...)
  • IEC 62257-9-6:2008(E) proposes a simple selection procedure and cheap, comparative tests which can be performed in laboratories of developing countries, in order to identify the most suitable model of small Photovoltaic Individual Electrification Systems (PV- IES) up to 500 Wp for a particular(...)
  • Proposes comparative tests that could be particularly useful for project implementers to test in laboratories of developing countries the capability of products to be used for their project. The tests can be performed locally, as close as possible of the real site operating conditions.
  • IEC/TS 62282-1:2013 provides uniform terminology in the forms of diagrams, definitions and equations related to fuel cell technologies in all applications including but not limited to stationary power, transportation, portable power and micro power applications.
