Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards portfolio includes hundreds of industry-driven consensus
standards in a broad range of technologies and applications, including photovoltaic (PV) systems and integration with the utility
grid.  The IEEE global outreach drives the functionality, capabilities and interoperability of a wide range of products and services
that transform the way people live, work and communicate.

The IEEE SCC21 oversees the development of standards in the areas of fuel cells, PV, dispersed generation, and energy storage and
coordinates efforts in these fields among the various IEEE Societies and other affected organizations to ensure that all standards are
consistent and properly reflect the views of all applicable disciplines. The IEEE SCC21 systems-level focus is on technology to grid
interconnection, integration and impacts, and, Smart Grid interoperability including electric-sourced transportation and energy
storage systems. 

PV-specific and systems-level IEEE SCC21 standards include the following (the "P" designation are standards projects that are
currently being developed and the others are published):
