DANSK DSF/IEC TS 62913-1 ED1 PDF

This part of the IEC 62913 describes a common approach for IEC Technical Committees to define Generic Smart Grid Requirements for further standardisation work . It uses as input the Use Case methodology defined as part of IEC 62559 series, and provides a more detailed methodology for describing Use Cases and extracting Requirements from these Use Cases. This is necessary to achieve a consistent and homogeneous description of Generic Requirements for the different areas which make up the Smart Grid environment. The use of the term ‘Generic’ in the present document should be clarified. IEC standards need to address the maximum number of requirements needed by its stakeholders, namely those that bring value to several actors and that are not project specific. Use cases are a tool to capture requirements, and the importance or the relevance of a requirement is not just determined by the number of Use Cases that capture it (although it may be a valid indication). A regulatory requirement for example will be considered a priority in one geography and perhaps not in another. That fact that there is only one Use Case that captures that regulatory requirement does not diminish the importance of the requirement, not the fact that it should be addressed.
