Full title and description

IEC TS 62654:2012 — Network-based energy consumption measurement — Energy saving system — Conceptual model. This Technical Specification defines the architecture, roles and functional requirements of an Energy Saving System (ESS) for measuring and managing energy consumption of household and AV multimedia equipment, and describes approaches to reduce standby and passive power in AC power premises.

Abstract

Provides a conceptual model for an ESS composed of servers and clients, specifies functional requirements (measurement, communication, user interfaces, classification and modes of operation), and describes interfaces with home networks and external energy suppliers. Annex material gives additional guidance on energy consumption measurement for ESS clients. The document focuses on AC power environments within premises.

Scope

Specifies the conceptual architecture and functional requirements for an energy saving system that measures energy consumption of individual home/consumer electronic devices (including audiovisual equipment) and supports functions to reduce standby and passive power. The scope is limited to AC power environments within premises and addresses ESS server and client roles, interfaces (internal and external), measurement and modelling, user interfaces, and modes such as sleep and automatic cut-off.

Key topics and requirements

• ESS architecture: definitions of ESS server and ESS client roles, system topology and classification of ESS types.
• Functional requirements for ESS server: network interfaces, support for EPCM protocol, data gathering/monitoring, user interfaces, and interactions with energy suppliers.
• Functional requirements for ESS client: measurement of device energy consumption, local control (sleep, cut-off, re-supply), protection and user settings, and energy-usage modelling.
• Support for standby and passive-power reduction: sleep modes, automatic cut-off of passive standby power and re-supply behaviour.
• Interfaces: internal interfaces to existing home networks and external interfaces to electric power service providers for demand/supply management of renewable energy.
• Measurement guidance and annex material: recommended approaches for energy consumption measurement of ESS clients and examples/figures illustrating architecture and basic functions.

Typical use and users

Used by appliance and AV-equipment manufacturers, smart-home and energy-management system designers, test laboratories, utilities and service providers developing home-energy management offerings, regulators defining measurement/efficiency programs, and standards developers aligning measurement and communication interfaces. The technical committee listed for the TS is IEC TC 100/TA 19.

Related standards

Normative and normative-related work includes IEC standards addressing standby and measurement methods (for example IEC 62301 on household appliance standby power measurement and IEC 62087 for audio/video equipment measurement methods), and other IEC/ISO work on home-network and energy-management interfaces. This TS complements those measurement and interface standards by providing an ESS conceptual model.

A: IEC TS 62654:2012 is a Technical Specification that defines a conceptual model and functional requirements for a network-based Energy Saving System (ESS) to measure and manage energy consumption of home and multimedia equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers ESS architecture, server/client functional requirements, measurement approaches, user interfaces, sleep and cut-off modes, interfaces to home networks and external energy providers, and classification of ESS. It focuses on AC power environments within premises.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers, system integrators, utilities, test labs, standards bodies and regulators involved in home-energy management, appliance design and energy-efficiency programs.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: IEC TS 62654 was published on 9 August 2012 and is recorded as IEC TS 62654:2012. The IEC publication record for this TS does not show a superseding standard; the published bibliographic record lists the 2012 edition and its bibliographic details. Users should check the IEC catalogue or national standards bodies for any updates or national adoptions when exact currency is critical.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone IEC Technical Specification produced under TC 100/TA 19 addressing environmental and energy aspects for multimedia systems. It sits alongside related IEC standards on energy measurement and multimedia equipment rather than as a numbered multi-part series.
