Full Description

Scope

This standard establishes the requirements for communications networking devices supporting electrictransmission and distribution inside/outside an electric power substation. It addresses issues such as equipment enclosures, temperature ranges, electrical phenomena, and others that are haracterized by a transmission and distribution environment. This includes the different communication methods used in these locations, such as wireless and power line carrier/communications

Purpose

This standard will fill critical gaps, as today no IEEE standard exists for Smart Grid devices installed in substations, on distribution feeders, or the communications devices installed in Smart Meters--and utilize radio frequency, power line communications, or Ethernet cables. This standard (as an extension of IEEE Std 1613-2009) will fill those gaps. It adds new frequencies, now in use by cell phones and portable devices, not covered in IEEE Std 1613-2009. It also adds five new immunity tests (Clause 6 and Clause 9 through Clause 12) not previously covered by any IEEE standard. Thus, Clause 6 and Clause 9 through Clause 12 are additional requirements for IEEE 1613 devices.

Abstract

New IEEE Standard - Active.Environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networkingdevices to be installed in transmission and distribution facilities. This standard establishes acommon reproducible basis for designing and evaluating devices utilizing radio frequency (RF) upto 6 GHz, power line communications, and broadband over power line (BPL) technologies. It alsorequires immunity to five IEC electromagnetic compatibility standards for which there are no IEEEequivalent standards. This standard is an extension to IEEE Std 1613(tm)-2009 and IEEE Std1613a(tm)-2011.
