IEC TR 62357-1:20 16（E）提供了所有标准的清晰而全面的地图，这些标准有助于以开放和可互操作的方式支持电网领域从发电到消费者（包括输电和配电）的参与者、组件和系统之间的交互。该文件还提出了相关IEC技术委员会和工作组在未来几年将遵循的道路的愿景，以提高这一系列标准的全球效率、市场相关性和覆盖面。与上一版相比，第二版包括以下重大技术变更: -它提供更新并定义分层参考架构，以帮助指导长期目标和活动，特别是通过受益于当前标准制定过程中吸取的经验教训及其在实际公用事业项目中的应用，确保IEC制定的所有新标准的兼容性以及thro其他国际公认的建筑标准的应用。 -它反映了与电力系统管理和相关信息交换相关的IEC标准的最新版本，包括IEC 61850系列以及IEC 61968、IEC 61970和IEC 62325通用信息模型（CIM）标准。

IEC TR 62357-1:2016(E) provides a clear and comprehensive map of all standards which are contributing to support interactions, in an open and interoperable way, between actors, components and systems in the field of electricity grids from generation to consumers, including transmission and distribution. The document also brings the vision of the path which will be followed by the concerned IEC technical committees and working groups in the coming years, to improve the global efficiency, market relevancy and coverage of this series of standards. This second edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- it provides updates and defines layered Reference Architecture to help direct longer term goals and activities, specifically to ensure compatibility of all new standards developed in the IEC by benefitting from lessons learned during development of the current standards and their application to actual utility projects as well as through application of other internationally recognized architecture standards.
- It reflects the most recent editions of the IEC standards relating to power systems management and associated information exchange, including the IEC 61850 series and the IEC 61968, IEC 61970 and IEC 62325 Common Information Model (CIM) standards.
