EMerge Alliance creates new generic vanguard standards for DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrids — and for DC microgrid peer-to-peer interconnection — to build resilient, versatile mesh and campus, neighborhood and community-wide energy networks. Each standard is developed in an open technical committee and available to members.
An open JSON schema for the critical power-flow characteristics of every microgrid device — sources, conversion, storage, distribution, protection and loads. Feeds the RE+Source PRO product catalog and is published on GitHub for public review.
View standard →An integrated, open platform for power, infrastructure, peripheral devices and controls — facilitating the hybrid use of AC and DC power within single power-system domains. Covers power conversion, interconnect infrastructure, grounding, protection and example architectures.
View standard →Defines low-voltage DC power distribution requirements for commercial building interiors — safe 24VDC for the occupied space, with overview, FAQs and a request path for the full document.
View standard →ANSI C12.32-2021 — the first ANSI standard for revenue-grade metering of direct current — establishes performance criteria for DC watt-hour and demand meters. Led by EMerge with NEMA, NIST, UL, DOE national labs and utilities.
View standard →A peer-to-peer interconnection standard for DC-coupled hybrid microgrids — between microgrids, neighborhoods, communities and the AC grid. In active development by the Microgrid Interconnection Committee.

OEMs can list components in the EMerge open-source IDM library, and members can request copies of any released standard. Become a member to take part in the committees that write and revise them.
