This part of IEC 62488 applies to the planning of analogue and digital power line carrier systems operating over EHV/HV/MV electricity grids. The object of this standard is to establish the planning of the services and performance parameters for the operational requirements to transmit and receive data efficiently over power networks. The transmission media used by the different electricity supply industries will include analogue and digital systems together with more common communication services including national telecommunications authorities, radio links and fibre optic networks and satellite networks. With the developments in communication infrastructures over the last two decades and the ability of devices connected in the electricity communications network to internally and externally communicate, there is a variety of architectures to use in the electricity distribution network to provide efficient seamless communications. These series of standards for the planning of power line carrier systems will also be an integral part of the development of the overall architecture standard IEC 61850 developed within IEC/TC 57 which provides the fundamental architecture for the formation of the smart grid. The responsible committee is DKE/K 952 "Network control technology" of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
