Overview
IEC SRD 63199:2020 - "Top priority standards development status in the domain of smart energy" - is a Systems Reference Deliverable published by the IEC Systems Committee Smart Energy (SyC SE). The document presents a living development plan and a snapshot of the current status of priority standardization cases in smart energy. It identifies items that require standardization, their current status, the work required (often across multiple technical committees or working groups), and stakeholders’ perspectives on impact and feasibility.
Key topics and technical focus
The SRD organizes and assesses system‑level standardization needs rather than prescribing technical specifications. Key technical topics and elements covered include:
- Development plan process: collection of standardization cases, ranking methodology and criteria, and a synchronized gap‑analysis and review process.
- Prioritization framework: graphical ranking of cases using impact (deployment/market effect) vs. resolution likelihood, plus consensus evaluation and stakeholder involvement.
- Assessed standardization cases (examples listed and analysed in the SRD):
- S‑INT‑1: Increase profiling support
- S‑CNC‑2: Connecting and managing DER standards
- S‑CNC‑4: Installations with multiple power sources
- S‑SA‑10 / S‑SA‑11: Extensions for dynamic system management and guidance for IEC 61850 extensions
- S‑DER‑1 / Promotion of IEC 61850‑7‑420 for DERs
- S‑HBES/BACS‑1: Smart home/building automation and demand response coordination
- S‑ES‑1: Interconnection and interoperability of large and distributed energy storage systems
- G‑C‑7: Long‑term IPv4/IPv6 interoperability support
- G‑S‑5: Smart energy cybersecurity guidelines
- S‑AM‑1: Extensions of SGAM (Smart Grid Architecture Model) for smart energy
- Supporting materials: figures and annexes such as energy storage classifications, data model outlines, SGAM diagrams, and cyber security standard mappings.
Practical applications and who uses it
IEC SRD 63199:2020 is a strategic roadmap for coordination rather than a prescriptive technical standard. Practical users include:
- IEC technical committees, working groups and national committees - to coordinate cross‑TC work and identify priority projects.
- Utilities and grid operators - to understand roadmap and standards timelines affecting integration of DERs, storage and multi‑source installations.
- Manufacturers and vendors of inverters, energy storage, smart meters, BACS/HEMS - to align product design and interoperability efforts with anticipated standards.
- Standards program managers, policymakers and regulators - to plan harmonization activities and procurement requirements.
- Cybersecurity and system architects - to reference planned guidance for secure smart energy deployments.
