I have posted news about the Italian norm CEI 0-16 in 2013 (12 years ago) regarding the use of IEC 61850 for DSO - Distribution System Operators:
Click HERE to see the three old posts.
During the last years I have not seen a lot of discussions regarding Italian DSOs ... maybe I just did not look for it.
By some request today, I searched the internet to see what happened: A LOT ... I guess.
Several up-to-date documents are downloadable for free:
Standards CEI 0-16 and CEI 0-21, TR 57-126 e PAS 57-127
Click HERE for accessing the documents.
One of the key documents is likely: Reference technical rules for the connection of active and passive consumers to the HV and MV electrical networks of distribution Company
<<Standard CEI 0-16 – Versione consolidata di lavoro>>
The document <<Standard CEI TR 57-126>> contains even a SCL File for the IED to be used (guess it is an example; from 2022).
I guess these specifications (for FREE) cover more applications (generation and load) compared to the German FNN Steuerbox (load only; spec for 39 Euro).
Needs further investigation to understand the similarities and differences. Anyway, both use IEC 61850!
After yesterdays post (2025-08-27), I found today (2025-08-28) a nice description of one of the backgrounds for CEI 0-16:
Enabling of frequency control on distributed generation by CEI 0-16 Power Plant Controller: an analysis of the benefits on system’s stability
