Last week we participated in the virtual IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) TC57 Plenary meeting, where we discussed the future of CIM, IEC 61850, IEC 62351, and the other accompanying work from IEC TC57. The market should be rest-assured the power system standards are continuing to evolve, regardless of the global situation. A lot of attention was paid to the penetration of DER, cyber-security, and the harmonization of the CIM/61850 data models. Congratulations to Stephen Dutnall, MBA, Arnaud Ulian, Heiko Englert, Dustin Tessier P.Eng, MBA, PMP and the rest of the TC57 for a successful and productive meeting.
