Basic charter

Create a universal, open-source framework that standardizes DC microgrid equipment interoperability in a JSON format — enabling seamless interoperability, reducing costs, and supporting safe, efficient integration of microgrid systems globally.

Objectives

  • Standardize the listing of key product electrical parameters for microgrid system integration.
  • Define typical device characteristics for each class of microgrid device — source, converter, load, controller, energy storage and protection.
  • Define a universal JSON framework detailing the electrical characteristics of devices.

Current activities

The committee has reconvened and is reviewing information and use cases to aid the further development and revision of the IDM standard.

Help write the standards the evolving grid will run on.

Join manufacturers, engineers, utilities and researchers building the mesh of advanced DC and hybrid AC/DC microgrids.
