IEC 62872-1:20 19（E）在信息流方面定义了工业设施和“智能电网”之间的接口。它识别、描述并在需要时扩展所需的标准，以允许交换支持工业设施和智能电网之间电能流的规划、管理和控制所需的信息。 本文件的范围明确不包括直接控制设施内能源资源所需的协议，其中工业设施将这种控制的控制权和最终责任委托给外部实体（例如，电网运营商的分布式能源（DER）控制）。

IEC 62872-1:2019(E) 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).
