IEEE 2030.7-2017 PDF Download

The IEEE 2030.7-2017 standard focuses on the microgrid energy management system (MEMS) and its control functions. It aims to address the technical issues and challenges associated with the proper operation of the MEMS that are common to all microgrids, regardless of their topology, configuration, or jurisdiction. The standard provides technical specifications and requirements for microgrid controllers, ensuring interoperability between different controllers and components.

The standard emphasizes the need for cohesive and platform-independent interfaces, enabling flexibility, customization, and the deployment of various components and control algorithms without limiting functionality. It defines functions and interface configurations that allow modularity and interoperability, promoting the wide adoption of the standard by vendors and utilities. Additionally, the standard focuses on a modular approach that allows for potential future expansion and features.

The scope of the standard includes the control functions that define the microgrid as a system capable of managing itself, operating autonomously or grid-connected, and seamlessly connecting to and disconnecting from the main distribution grid for power exchange and ancillary services. The standard also addresses testing procedures, including scenarios and use cases for dispatch function and transition function testing.
