IS/IEC 61970-401 : 2022 Energy Management System Application Program Interface (EMS-API) - Part 401 Profile Framework
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 401) (First Revision) which is Identical to IEC 61970-401 : 2022 'Energy management system application program interface (EMS-API) - Part 401: Profile framework' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendations of the Power System Control And Associated Communication Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.
This Indian Standard was originally published in 2018 and was identical to IEC/TS 61970-401 : 2005. The first revision of this standard aligns this Indian Standard with IEC 61970-401 : 2022 published in 2022.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) The previous edition of IEC TS 61970-401:2005 provided an overview of the Component Interface Specifications (CIS) IEC 61970-402, IEC 61970-403, IEC 61970-404, IEC 61970-405, and IEC 61970-407. IEC 61970-402 to IEC 61970-407 are duplicates of existing OPC interfaces from OPC Foundation and the DAIS/HDA interfaces from OMG. Hence IEC 61970-402 to IEC 61970-407 have been withdrawn and IEC TS 61970-401 : 2005
b) IEC 61970-401 (this document) does not contain an overview of Component Interface Specifications (CIS) but instead a description of how to create profile specifications that describes dataset contents (or message contents). Hence it has been renamed "Profile framework". The profile specifications IEC 61970-450 (all parts) and IEC 61970-600 (all parts) describe dataset contents. The purpose of this document is to define the rules to be followed in the process of creating profile specifications. no longer serves a purpose.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are however not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
