IEEE Draft Standard Profile for Communications with Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) using IEEE Std 1815 [Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3)]

This document establishes a Standard Profile for communications with Distributed Energy Resources (DER) using IEEE Std 1815, IEEE Standard for Electric Power Systems Communications - Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3). This profile consists of 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. It also specifies the data objects needed for many DER and Inverter-Base Resources (IBR) 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. In addition, it specifies a mapping to detailed equipment-related data objects, primarily for logging and historical purposes. The profile is provided in both a written and an electronic format (Profile Companion Data Point Tables) for ease of implementation.
