A standard profile for communications with distributed energy resources (DERs) using IEEE Std 1815™ [Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3)] is established. A high-level data model for DER communications, based on selected data objects from International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850-7-420:2021 mapped to a fixed list of DNP3 data points, comprises the profile. The data objects needed for many DER and inverter-base resources (IBRs) functions, including those in IEEE Std 1547™-2018, IEEE Std 2800™-2022, and IEEE Std 1547.9™-2022, as well as additional functions needed for storage systems, are also specified. In addition, a mapping to detailed equipment-related data objects, including meters, DER units, inverters, and batteries, is provided. The profile is presented in both a written and an electronic format (IEEE 1815.2 Profile Companion Data Point Tables) for ease of implementation.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
