IEC 61970

The IEC 61970 series of standards by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) deals with the application program interfaces for energy management systems (EMS). The series provides a set of guidelines and standards to facilitate:

  • The integration of applications developed by different suppliers in the control center environment
  • The exchange of information to systems external to the control center environment, including transmission, distribution and generation systems external to the control center that need to exchange real-time data with the control center
  • The provision of suitable interfaces for data exchange across legacy and new systems

IEC 61970 is created and maintained by IEC Technical Committee 57 (TC 57).[1]

Set of standards

The complete set of standards includes the following parts:[1]

  • IEC 61970-1: Guidelines and general requirements
  • IEC 61970-2: Glossary of terms
  • IEC 61970-3XX: Common Information Model (CIM)[2]
  • IEC 61970-4XX: Generic Interface Definition (GID)
  • IEC 61970-5XX: Common Interface System Technology Mappings
