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. This approach is similar to what is done as an example with IEC 61850-90-1 for the communication between substations.
