IEC SMB SG1 Recommendations Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources

1. INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION TECHNICAL COMMITTEE No. 100: AUDIO, VIDEO AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT IEC SMB SG1 Recommendations Energy Efficiency and Renewable Resources IEC TC 100 AGS May 20, 2009 Jean Baronas

2. IEC SMB SG1 Recommendations • 1-12 • SMB/3718D/CG • The SMB approved 1-12 in SMB/3718B/R • 13-20 • SMB/3970R • IEC TC 100 commented, as follows

3. #13, Smart Grid IEC TC 100 supports • “IEC to organize a Workshop on the topic of ‘Advanced supply and demand side balance in electrical grids” in order to inform on the state-of-the-art in standardization and to further propose concrete new standardization activities. This encompasses a) the integration of renewable energy sources into existing grids as well as b) techniques aiming at the organization of electricity supply versus electricity demand”

4. #13, Smart Grid IEC: -TC 8 (system aspects of electrical energy supply) -TC 57 (power systems management and associated information exchange) -TC 13 (electrical energy measurement, tariff- and load control)

5. #13, Smart Grid • TC 100 comments on the “use side” • Possible new Technical Area (TA) on Energy Efficiency  • IEC 62087: 2008 (Measurement Methods) • IEC 62394: 2006 (Echonet) • IEC 62514, Ed.1: (100/1526/CDV, Multimedia Gateway) • Proposed: "Saving Active Power (ASP) of Home Network Appliances"

6. #14, Household Appliances IEC TC 100 supports If TC 59 supports • “TC 59 and its SCs to develop / update International Standards on measurement procedures required to define energy efficiency classes of electrical household appliances. The relevant evaluation methods shall take into account a realistic simulation of the actual use of each type of appliance.”

7. #14, Household Appliances • TC 100 asked for coordination with our contributions to the IEC TC 111 Project Team 62542 

8. #15,Household Appliances IEC TC 100 supports If TC 59 supports “TC 59 and its SCs to develop a harmonized international system of energy consumption classes including a labeling scheme to determine the energy consumption/energy efficiency of household appliances, taking into account the existing regional and national standards in this field.”

9. #15,Household Appliances • TC 100 comment: Please note that an energy consumption (use) classification scheme, including labeling, is out of the scope of the IEC TC100.   

10. #16, Household Appliances IEC TC 100 supports If TC 59 supports • “TC 59 to account for standby losses and off-mode losses in their product standards.” • IEC TC 100 comment: Please coordinate this work with our contributions to the IEC TC111 Project Team (PT) 62542

11. #17, Household Appliances, Consumer Products, and IT Products The IEC TC 100 supports If TC 96 supports • TC 96 “Small power transformers, reactors, power supply units and similar products” to take into account standby operation and energy efficiency of power supplies in their standardization activities. (Transformers, reactors, power supply units and similar for low voltage up to 1100 V)

12. #17, Household Appliances, Consumer Products, and IT Products • IEC TC 100 comment: Please coordinate with our contributions to the IEC TC111 Project Team 62542 (defining the operating modes).  The modes should eventually be harmonized.

13. #18, Consumer Products and IT Products The IEC TC 100 cannot support • “TC 100 and TC 108 should take into account both standby losses and off-mode losses in their standards. This implies external power supplies (AC / DC converters) to be considered as integral parts of the pertinent equipment (i.e. same treatment as for internal power supplies). For true zero standby and off-mode losses, the power supply shall be completely disconnected from the mains power by appropriate means.”

14. #18, Consumer Products and IT Products • TC 100 comments: • Continue with energy efficiency measurement standards • “Zero standby and off mode losses" remains the mission of governmental agencies that consider the social and economic impacts  • Continue working in close collaboration with the IEC TC108 

15. NOTE • NOTE: SG1 met in Paris, 3/09 • Minutes:  SMB-SG 1/0065/RM • Concluded that the IEC TCs define the metrics and methods of testing (for energy efficiency) and the regulators “fix the limits." 

16. #19, IT Equipment and Consumer Products The IEC TC 100 supports part of #19 • “TC 100 and TC 108 to develop / update International Standards on measurement procedures for IT equipment and consumer electronics, which are the basis for establishing energy consumption / energy efficiency classes or other performance indicators.”

17. #19, IT Equipment and Consumer Products • Comments from IEC TC 100: • Continue developing measurement procedures: IEC 62087 • Technology-independent, for comparison   • Considered in regulation • Performance indicators are unlikely candidates for standards • Labeling is out of scope • Plan to continue collaborating with the IEC TC108    • Cannot support energy efficiency classes, performance indicators (second part of Recommendation 19 )

18. #20 IT Equipment and Consumer Products The IEC TC 100 cannot support • “TC 100 and TC 108 to develop a harmonized international system of energy consumption classes or other performance indicators including e.g. a labeling scheme to determine the energy consumption / energy efficiency of consumer electronic products, such as TV sets, set-top boxes, cable modems, DSL routers etc.”

19. #20 IT Equipment and Consumer Products • Comments from the IEC TC 100: • Collaborating with the IEC TC108 • Classifications, performance indicators, e.g., a labeling scheme are out of the scope of the IEC TC100

20. Summary

21. Summary

22. Summary • IEC TC 100 supported most recommendations • Not supported are out of scope • Not supported if unlikely candidates for standards • Close collaboration with other TCs remains essential • Harmonized definitions • IEC TC 100 plans to remain active in responding to the work efforts of the IEC SMB SG1
