The IEC 62257 series is a European standard that covers various aspects of recommendations for renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification.
PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 is the third part of the IEC 62257 series is a technical specification, that 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.
PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 applies to simplified user interfaces (distribution board) in electrical installations with a maximum power of 500 VA in Decentralized Rural Electrification Systems (DRESs).
PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 applies to interface equipment within the user’s installation, and which connects the user's installation to:
Photovoltaic hybrid power systems are gaining attraction among rural electrification institutions as a way to reduce fuel price rises, produce lower operating costs, and provide improved service quality than traditional single-source generating systems.
PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 specifies the general requirements for the design and deployment of interface equipment within the user's installation that links to a microgrid or the generating component of a freestanding system.
PD IEC TS 62257-9-3 provides you guidance on renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification products in terms of selecting the correct system for the right area, designing the system, and operating and maintaining the system.
Adopting guidance in PD IEC TS 62257-9-3 can be helpful for the safety, sustainability of systems and at the lowest life-cycle cost possible. PD IEC TS 62257-9-3 assist in promoting the use of renewable energies in rural electrification for developing countries.
PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 supersedes DD IEC/TS 62257-9-3:2006 which is withdrawn. PD IEC/TS 62257-9-3 includes some technical changes with respect to DD IEC/TS 62257-9-3:2006. These include:
