Article #700 - IEC
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has numerous committees working on GridWise™-related topics. As GridWise concepts and efforts progress, the significance of various technical committees and working groups will evolve. For initial stages focused on overarching architectural understanding, the key groups may be IEC TC 8--Systems aspects for electrical energy supply and IEC TC57/SPAG--Strategic Policy Advisory Group and IEC TC57/WG 19—Interoperability within TC 57 in the long term, though many groups summarized below also hold relevance for the GridWise architecture efforts.
Valuable work is in progress in several IEC technical committees (for example, TC57 working groups 10-19 and ISO/IECJTC 1/SC 25/WG 1, Home Electronic Systems), but is not available to the general public while still in draft stages. It would be useful for GridWise Architects or technical support to have access to this work, either through more or less formal liaisons with IEC TC participants or informally through participants on the working groups in question.
