What is PD IEC/TS 62257-3- Renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification about?
PD IEC/TS 62257 discusses recommendations for renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification. PD IEC/TS 62257-3 is the third part of the PD IEC/TS 62257 multi-series and discusses project development and management.
PD IEC/TS 62257-3 provides information on the responsibilities involved in the implementation of rural power systems. PD IEC/TS 62257-3 provides you with further technical considerations for contractual liabilities are provided.
Who is PD IEC/TS 62257-3- Renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification for?
PD IEC/TS 62257-3 on renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification is useful for:
- Utility providers
- Energy service providers
- Government agencies
Why should you use PD IEC/TS 62257-3- Renewable energy and hybrid systems for rural electrification?
The IEC 62257 series intends to provide to different players involved in rural electrification projects (such as project implementers, project contractors, project supervisors, installers, etc.) documents for the setting up of renewable energy and hybrid systems with AC voltage below 1 000 V and DC voltage below 1 500 V. These documents are recommendations to choose the right system for the right place, to design the system, and to operate and maintain the system.
PD IEC/TS 62257-3 guides you with contractual relationships to be built between the different participants to a project. Throughout the project, responsibilities are to be clearly defined and contractual commitments controlled.
PD IEC/TS 62257-3 provides relevant tests to be applied to renewable energy and hybrid electrification systems and provides proposed quality assurance principles to be implemented. PD IEC/TS 62257-3 also guides you with the requirements that are proposed for recycling and the protection of the environment.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC/TS 62257-3:2015 supersedes DD IEC/TS 62257-3:2004 which is withdrawn. PD IEC/TS 62257-3:2015 includes some technical changes with respect to DD IEC/TS 62257-3:2004 These include:
- Redefine the maximum AC voltage from 500 V to 1 000 V, the maximum DC voltage from 750 to 1 500 V
- Removal of the limitation of 100 kVA system size. Hence the removal of the word “small” in the title and related references in this technical specification
