PD IEC/TR 62357 is a series on power systems management and associated information exchange. Power systems management allows our customers to select important power supply parameters over a digital communication interface. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 is a Technical Report, that applies to information exchange in power systems including, but not restricted to, substations, control centres, maintenance centres, energy management systems, synchrophasor-based grid stability systems, bulk energy generation (including fossil fuel plants), distributed energy generation (renewables, wind and solar), energy storage, load management (demand-side management and demand response for distribution level consumers or producers).
PD IEC/TR 62357-200 addresses the issues encountered when migrating from the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). PD IEC/TR 62357-200 describes migration strategies, covering the impact on applications, communication stack, network nodes, configuration, address allocation, cyber security, and the related management. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 considers backward compatibility and show concepts as well as necessary migration paths to IPv6 from IPv4 where necessary, for a number of protocols in the IEC 61850 framework. Following a review of IEC standards and technical reports according to the reference architecture for power system information exchange (IEC 62357-1), PD IEC/TR 62357-200 supports modifications caused by the introduction of IPv6 for revision of these documents, considering the impact of permitting or requiring IPv6.
Note: PD IEC/TR 62357-200 does not impose the use of the IPv6 technology in utility communications.
PD IEC/TR 62357-200 on power systems management and associated information exchange is useful for:
Power systems management enables the power supply to communicate important information about the status of the power system upstream to the system or board management controller. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 provides definitions, guidelines, and recommendations for migration of data communication protocols which are today using the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). PD IEC/TR 62357-200 starts with a tutorial on the aspects of IPv4 and IPv6 technologies that are relevant for migration.
PD IEC/TR 62357-200 addresses data communication for power systems at all voltage levels, from transmission level down to the low voltage. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 is in addition useful for any other application domain which specifies the use of IP transport. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 contains recommendations for the device manufacturers, network engineers and standardization bodies and also contains recommendations for the device manufacturers, network engineers and standardization bodies. PD IEC/TR 62357-200 defines a timetable for the standard bodies defining data communication in power systems which are all new or revised IEC documents support IPv6 as an option for projects that mandate it, starting in 2015, all IEC documents request both IPv6 and IPv4 support, while use is not mandatory until 2030 and all IEC documents consider IPv4 as deprecated after 2050. Using PD IEC/TR 62357-200 you can understand the issues encountered when migrating from the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6).
