Standard for Trust-Oriented Data Classification, Grading, and Governance for Electric Power Data Applications

This standard defines principles, frameworks, and methods for trust-oriented classification, grading, and governance of electric power data. It establishes a structured taxonomy of electric power data across business domains including generation, transmission, distribution, consumption, and trading, and provides multi-dimensional grading criteria based on data sensitivity, disclosure risk, and operational impact. This standard further specifies a trust-oriented governance baseline for authorized data operations, trusted data sharing, and cross-organizational data circulation within the power sector. This standard applies to power utilities, grid operators, energy trading platforms, distributed energy resource aggregators, and other entities engaged in power data management and exchange.
