Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62257-7-Renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification?
Photovoltaic hybrid power systems are gaining attraction among rural electrification institutions as a way to reduce fuel price rises, produce lower operating costs, and provide improved service quality than traditional single-source generating systems.
Guidance in PD IEC/TS 62257-7 can help you establish the various best industry requirements for generators in decentralized rural electrification systems.
PD IEC TS 62257-7 provides you guidance on renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification products in terms of selecting the correct system for the right area, designing the system, and operating and maintaining the system.
Overall, PD IEC TS 62257-7 can ensure standardization as per best industry practice for the implementation of generators in decentralized rural electrification systems.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC/TS 62257-7:2017 supersedes DD IEC/TS 62257-7:2008, which is withdrawn. PD IEC/TS 62257-7:2017 includes some technical changes with respect to PD IEC/TS 62257-7:2017. These include:
- Removed the word "small" from the description of the PV systems, and removed the power limit (100 kVA)
- Increased the relevant voltage levels to 1 000 V (AC) and 1 500 V (DC)
