Recommended in this document are practices for the testing and implementation of smart grid communication with regard to safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental and mechanical requirements, but excluding interoperability.

Information on the concepts of protection of ac transmission 1ines is presented in this guide. Applications of the concepts to accepted transmission line protection schemes are presented as well. Many important issues, such as coordination of settings, operating times, characteristics of relays, mut...

The neutral grounding of single and three-phase ac electric utility primary distribution systems with nominal voltages in the range of 2.4 kV34.5 kV is addressed. Classes of distribution systems grounding are defined. Basic considerations in distribution system grounding concerning economics, contro...

This guide presents practical line current differential schemes using digital communication. Operating principles, synchronization methods, channel requirements, current transformer requirements, external time reference requirements, backup considerations, testing considerations and troubleshooting ...

This guide (in conjunction with IEEE Std. 1013-+) is a recommended method for properly sizing the PV array and battery for stand-alone PV systems where PV is the only charging source. Special attention needs to be made to load calculations and determination of solar radiation in the sizing of the sy...
