What is PD CLC/TS 50586 on Open Smart Grid Protocol about?
PD CLC/TS 50586 is an international standard that covers guidelines for Open Smart Grid Protocol.
PD CLC/TS 50586 describes the data interface model, application-level communication, management functionalities, and security mechanism for the exchange of data with smart-grid devices.
PD CLC/TS 50586 defines terms, abbreviations, PLC network management, OSGP device data representation, security suites, Device Functional Description of the case the OSGP device is an electric power metering device, clock adjustment, basic OSGP services, etc., for Open Smart Grid Protocol.
Who is PD CLC/TS 50586 on Open Smart Grid Protocol for?
PD CLC/TS 50586 on Open Smart Grid Protocol is useful for:
- Structural engineers
- Designers and developers of Smart Grid
- Installers of Smart Grid
- Test /service providers for Smart Grid
Why should you use PD CLC/TS 50586 on Open Smart Grid Protocol?
Data exchange with smart-grid devices allows Utility Suppliers to collect customer usage information such as billing data and load profiles, monitor and control grid utilization, provision scheduling of tariffs, detect theft and tampers, and to issue disconnects, to name a few.
PD CLC/TS 50586 provides you with all the technicalities and features for Open Smart Grid Protocol such as meter features, the model, access to OSGP data, etc. It helps its users as the OSGP data interface uses a representation-oriented model (tables and procedures) which requires low overhead.
PD CLC/TS 50586 provides you with the OSGP application protocol, designed to use the communication stack over narrowband power line channels. It also describes the messages that are used to access OSGP data. PD CLC/TS 50586 gives an essential feature of the protocol, that is, a repeating mechanism that gives the application layer the control and responsibility for forwarding packets among devices. Thus, it helps you with a protocol that is independent of the routing protocol or the limitations of underlying layers.
