This standard provides an architectural blueprint for the development of the Power Distribution Internet of Things (PDIoT). The standard engages various domains and stakeholders, including cloud computing, Internet of Things (IoT), legacy grid systems, and promoting integration and interoperability among various components of the electric power grid. This standard leverages the IEEE 2413 Standard for an Architectural Framework for IoT. This standard defines a reference architecture for Power Distribution that includes a Power Distribution Cloud based platform, which supports microservices-based rapid development and deployment of distribution grid systems, and migration from monolithic legacy distribution grid operating systems to IoT platforms, including descriptions of various IoT services, as well as big data and machine learning driven real-time decision making. The standard defines a Power Distribution IoT architecture consisting of four layers: • A terminal layer that includes terminal units, sensors, and actuators • A communication network layer • An edge computing layer • An IoT cloud-based application layer This architecture supports existing and future distribution grid operation and business services. It also defines interfaces and interactions between the PDIoT cloud operation centers, the edge computing nodes, sensors, and actuators, as well as big data analytics that supports PDIoT. The standard also describes the Power Distribution Grid IoT operation center which aggregates a wide range of applications on a shared software and hardware decoupled cloud platform. The PDIoT operation center supports fast and agile migration from legacy distribution grid operating systems to an IoT cloud. It enables efficient collaboration across renewable energy resources, electric vehicles IoT, and smart buildings. Furthermore, the PDIoT operation center supports visualization of distribution grid operational status and facilitates decision-making and business planning based on knowledge derived from historical, real-time or near-real-time data, and big data. This standard also describes security aspects of the Power Distribution Grid architecture.

IEEE Standard for an Architectural Framework for the Internet of Things (IoT)
An architecture framework description for the Internet of Things (IoT) which conforms to the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 is defined. The architecture framework description is motivated by concerns commonly shared by IoT system stakeholders across multiple domains (transportation, healthcare, Smart Grid, etc.). A conceptual basis for the notion of things in the IoT is provided and the shared concerns as a collection of architecture viewpoints is elaborated to form the body of the framework description.
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
