IEEE Std 2030 provides alternative approaches and best practices for achieving smart grid interoperability. It is the first all-encompassing IEEE standard on smart grid interoperability providing a roadmap directed at establishing the framework in developing an IEEE national and international body of standards based on cross-cutting technical disciplines in power applications and information exchange and control through communications.

Service conditions, electrical ratings, thermal ratings, and environmental testing requirements are defined for communications networking devices to be installed in electric power substations. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating communications networking devices and the communications ports of protective relays for use in this harsh environment.

IEC TR 62746-2:2015(EN) describes the main pillars of interoperability to assist different Technical Committees in defining their interfaces and messages covering the whole chain between a smart grid and smart home/building/industrial area.

IEC TR 61850-90-3:2016(E) addresses communication aspects related to specific sensor networks that are widely used as well as information exchange towards asset management systems. Since the outcome of this work will affect several parts of IEC 61850, in a first step, this technical report has been prepared to address the topic from an application specific viewpoint across all affected parts of IEC 61850. Once this technical report has been approved, the affected parts of the standard will be amended with the results from the report.

IEC 61850-5:2013 applies to power utility automation systems with the core part of substation automation systems (SAS); it standardizes the communication between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and defines the related system requirements to be supported. The major technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- extension from substation automation systems to utility automation systems;
- inclusion of interfaces for communication between substations;
- requirements from communication beyond the boundary of the substation.

IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3:2016(E) specifies a precision time protocol (PTP) profile of IEC 61588:2009 / IEEE Std 1588-2008 applicable to power utility automation, which allows compliance with the highest synchronization classes of IEC 61850-5 and IEC 61869-9.

IEC/TR 61850-90-1:2010(E) provides a comprehensive overview on the different aspects that need to be considered while using IEC 61850 for information exchange between substations. In particular, this technical report defines use cases that:
- require an information exchange between substations;
- describes the communication requirements;
- gives guidelines for the communication services and communication architecture to be used;
- defines data as a prerequisite for interoperable applications;

IEC TR 61850-90-2:2016(E) provides a comprehensive overview of the different aspects that need to be considered while using IEC 61850 for information exchange between substations and control or maintenance centres or other system level applications. In particular, this technical report:
- defines use cases and communication requirements that require an information exchange between substations and control or maintenance centres;
- describes the usage of the configuration language of IEC 61850-6;
