Four additional IEC TC 57 Standards recommended for inclusion into the SGIP Catalog of Standards

Four additional IEC TC 57 Standards have been recommended for inclusion into the SGIP Catalog of Standards:

1. IEC 60870-6-503: Telecontrol protocols compatible with ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations - TASE.2 Services and protocol

2. IEC 60870-6-702: Telecontrol protocols compatible with ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations - Functional profile for providing the TASE.2 application service in end systems

3. IEC 60870-6-802: Telecontrol equipment and systems - Part 6-802: Telecontrol protocols compatible with ISO standards and ITU-T recommendations - TASE.2 Object models

4. IEC/TR 61850-90-5: Communication networks and systems for power utility automation - Part 90-5: Use of IEC 61850 to transmit synchrophasor information according to IEEE C37.118

The IEC 60870-6 TASE.2 Series is also know as ICCP (Inter Control-center Communication Protocol). It could be understood (to some extent) as the predecessor of IEC 61850. According to the experts in SGIP “This standard likely represents the greatest standards success story in the industry.” Why? Because it is the first IEC TC 57 standard that is applied all over in the communication between control centers of the electrical power delivery system as well as in many other domains like the gas delivery system.
