This part of IEC 62872 defines the interface, in terms of information flow, between industrial 
facilities and the “smart grid”. It identifies, profiles and extends where required, the standards 
needed to allow the exchange of the information needed to support the planning, management 
and control of electric energy flow between the industrial facility and the smart grid. 
The scope of this document specifically excludes the protocols needed for the direct control of 
energy resources within a facility where the control and ultimate liability for such control is 
delegated by the industrial facility to the external entity (e.g. distributed energy resource 
(DER) control by the electrical grid operator).dition 1.0 2019-06 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION colour inside Industrial-process measurement, control and automation – Part 1: system interface between industrial facilities and the smart grid IEC TS 62872-1:2019-06(en) THIS PUBLICATION IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED Copyright ？ 2019 IEC, Geneva, Switzerland All rights reserved.
