On October 23, 2024, the first in-person meeting of the Internet of Things (IoT) Architecture Working Group regarding the IEEE P2413.2 Standard for Reference Architecture for Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT) took place in Milan, Italy. During the meeting, representatives from State Grid of China and several European power companies discussed the draft IEEE P2413.2 standard, the IDS reference architecture and the functional requirements of the cloud edge device pipe, exchanged the latest research results and made important suggestions .
At the meeting, the proposal for the key features of the PDIoT architecture and the proposal for the first standard version were presented. This is an important step forward by the working group in advancing the PDIoT architecture towards international standards and the official start of the development of the international PDIoT standard.
Standards are the foundation on which every industry is built and an excellent tool for promoting the digitalization of the industry. They help to promote collaboration and cooperation in every phase of digitalization by standardizing the expectations of the interfaces and showing the technical path. They also set the direction of technological innovation and encourage companies to explore new technologies and models to adapt to market needs and industry changes.
The IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional association with 460,000 members from more than 190 countries. The IEEE Standards Association is a global standards body in which diverse communities of experts focus on formulating standards for emerging technology areas such as AI, AI ethics, quantum, metaverse, and standards for electrical devices, experimental methods, original components, symbols, definitions and test methods. The organization is a key source of global, market-relevant standards in many emerging and important technology areas.
The new energy system faces challenges related to the energy structure, flexible control of the power grid, interactive power consumption, coordinated and interactive energy storage from power generation, grid and load, and the complex power and carbon transaction system. Digitalization and intelligence are the key to overcoming these challenges.
The PDIoT is a main component of the smart grid. It uses highly networked devices and systems to realize efficient energy distribution and optimized management. The Standards Working Group meeting focused on PDIoT. Huawei and other working group members proposed the design, IDS architecture, and cloud pipe edge device capabilities. State Grid Shaanxi took the lead in providing 14 application scenarios for the PDIoT architecture.
Jason Li, president of global marketing & solutions, Electric Power Digitalization business unit at Huawei, said an open and collaborative environment and a unified international standard architecture are critical to meet the challenges of the new energy system in the future. “Based on the IEEE P2413 IoT standards platform, Huawei is working with global utilities, ecosystem partners and the IEEE Standards Association body to create a framework that is globally applicable, open and sustainable. “This will not only promote the intelligent development of power distribution networks and the coordinated development of the power industry, but also create a technical innovation foundation for future power systems,” he said. The standard architecture will also contribute to global energy transition and sustainable development.
The formulation of the international standard IEEE P2413.2 PDIoT at this meeting aims to meet the specific requirements for power distribution in the digital transformation of the global power industry and to help high-speed power line communication (HPLC) play a more important role in the power sector.

How does the PDIoT framework enhance interoperability in the digitalized energy sector?
**Interview with Dr. Elena Rossi, Chair of the IEEE P2413.2 Working Group**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Rossi. Let’s dive right in. The recent in-person meeting in Milan marked a significant milestone for the IEEE P2413.2 Standard for Reference Architecture for Power Distribution IoT (PDIoT). Can you share what the primary objectives of this meeting were?
**Dr. Rossi:** Absolutely, and thank you for having me. The primary objective of our meeting in Milan was to discuss and refine the draft of the PDIoT standard. We aimed to integrate insights from representatives of the State Grid of China and various European power companies, focusing on the functional requirements of the cloud edge device pipe and the overall IDS reference architecture. By exchanging research results and suggestions, we laid the groundwork for developing a robust international standard.
**Editor:** This sounds like a collaborative effort on an international scale. Why are standards like IEEE P2413.2 crucial for digitalization in the energy sector?
**Dr. Rossi:** Standards are fundamentally essential because they create a common framework that fosters collaboration and cooperation. In the context of the energy sector, having well-defined standards helps in the digitalization process by standardizing interfaces and defining clear technical pathways. This not only aids in enhancing interoperability among devices and systems but also steers technological innovation, enabling companies to explore new technologies and models that meet market demands.
**Editor:** You mentioned the challenges faced by the new energy system, such as energy structure and flexible grid control. How does the PDIoT framework aim to address these challenges?
**Dr. Rossi:** The PDIoT framework is designed to tackle the complexities of modern energy systems. By integrating advanced digitalization strategies and intelligent systems, the PDIoT architecture provides a cohesive approach to power generation, consumption, and storage interactions. It encourages a more adaptable grid that can respond to both demand and supply more effectively, facilitating a seamless energy transition and improving resilience against fluctuations in energy supply and demand.
**Editor:** That’s incredibly insightful. Moving forward, what are the next steps for the working group following this meeting?
**Dr. Rossi:** Our immediate next steps involve incorporating the feedback and proposals from the Milan meeting into the draft standard. We will be working closely with our members to finalize the first version of the PDIoT standard, ensuring it meets both current and future needs of the industry. We aim to bring this standard to a voting stage within the IEEE Standards Association, so it can be officially adopted and utilized globally. Our goal is to create a standard that significantly impacts how the energy sector can leverage IoT technology.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Rossi, for your time and this valuable information. We look forward to seeing how the PDIoT standard evolves and its impact on the energy sector.
**Dr. Rossi:** Thank you! It’s an exciting journey ahead, and I’m glad to share it with you and your audience.
