BS PD IEC/TS 62257-6:2015

BS PD IEC/TS 62257-6:2015, which is a technical specification, intends to describe the variousrules to be applied for acceptance, operation, maintenance and replacement (AOMR) ofdecentralized rural electrification systems (DRES) which are designed to supply electricpower for sites which are not connected to a large interconnected system, or a national grid,in order to meet basic needs.The majority of these sites are:

• isolated dwellings;
• village houses;
• community services (public lighting, pumping, health centers, places of worship or culturalactivities, administrative buildings, etc.);
• economic activities (workshops, micro-industry, etc.).

This technical specification proposes a methodology to achieve the best technical andeconomic conditions for acceptance, operation, maintenance and replacement of equipmentand complete system life cycle.It does not substitute for technical manuals provided by manufacturers for each equipment.The complexity of the system and application will dictate the level of required AOMRdocumentation.Cross References:IEC 62257IEC TS 62257-1IEC TS 62257-2IEC TS 62257-3IEC TS 62257-4IEC TS 62257-7IEC TS 62257-8IEC TS 62257-9IEC TS 62257-12-1IEC TS 62257-5
