WG 13 – EMS API

Convener: Terry Saxton

The principal task of the IEC 61970 series of standards is to develop a set of guidelines and standards to facilitate (1) the integration of applications developed by different suppliers in the control center environment and (2) the exchange of information to systems external to the control center environment.

WG 16

Convener: Jim Waight

WG 19

Convener: Paul Skare

Scope: Interoperability within TC 57

Vision: All new TC57 standards should use/extend the CIM as the common semantics for their configuration/engineering modeling, and 61850 for [SCADA oriented / IED / field] communications. Other existing standards would likely take a mapping approach. Foster a common data modeling approach across TC 57.

WG19 – Activities

• Reference Architecture: lead = Terry Saxton

• Quality Codes: lead = Ketil Rian

• 61850 to Control Center: lead = Christoph Brunner

• Good Working Practices document
