IEC sets up a new technical committee
Date: 2021-07-13    Source:IEC   

Robotics in electricity power systems are increasingly ubiquitous and require standards.

IEC TC 129 will develop standards on robotics for electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems.

Its scope is to standardize robotics applied in power systems, whether power plants, substations or transmission and distribution lines, for instance. Robots used in power systems are designed to assist or even replace human workers to complete or carry out certain tasks, which in some cases can be dangerous or strenuous. These tasks include construction work as well as operation and maintenance of electrical equipment and can comprise autonomous vehicles operating on rails, on the ground, in the air, under water and even on or inside equipment, for unmanned inspection.

The initial scope for standardization includes terminology, design, functions and performance, test methods, interfaces between robots and information systems, operation methods and safety and security requirements. In addition, the TC will also be required to provide standards for edge computing as well as analysis of the data acquired by these robots. It will also coordinate its work with other TCs working in standardization for power systems, such as ISO/TC 299, and other IEC TCs which relate to industry specific applications, such as TC 82TC 88, and TC 114. Robotics for nuclear power systems will not come under its remit.
