  • The 2023 edition of IEEE 1547.3 was approved on 2023-06-05. Value: 2023. Source: IEEE 1547.3-2023, clause Front matter. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-3.approved
  • The document is designated IEEE Std 1547.3-2023 and is cited as IEEE 1547.3-2023. Value: IEEE 1547.3-2023. Source: IEEE 1547.3-2023, clause Front matter. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-3.designation
  • The 2007 edition of IEEE 1547.3 was a guide for monitoring, information exchange and control of distributed resources; the 2023 revision changed subject to cybersecurity, so a reference to IEEE 1547.3 for monitoring or communication data models points at the superseded edition. Value: 2023. Source: IEEE 1547.3-2023, clause Front matter. Verified 2026-10-24. Record std.ieee-1547-3.edition-subject-change

  • IEEE 1547.3-2023 gives cybersecurity guidelines for distributed energy resources of every kind interconnected at typical primary or secondary distribution voltage; because the guidance runs end to end rather than stopping at the DER interface of IEEE 1547-2018, it is written as recommendations addressed to utilities, to DER owners and operators, to aggregators, to manufacturers and to integrators. Transmission-connected systems, microgrids, electric vehicle charging and off-grid systems are outside its stated scope. Source: IEEE 1547.3-2023, clause 1. Verified 2026-10-24.
