At Frax, our Energy storage systems (BESS) and EMS solutions seamlessly align with this standard, so you can easily integrate with existing infrastructures and be prepared for tomorrow's energy challenges.
What is IEC 61968?
IEC 61968 is an international standard that describes communication and data exchange between applications within electricity distribution companies. The standard was developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is part of the broader IEC 61970/61968 CIM (Common Information Model) standard.
This standard allows different systems, such as Energy Management Systems (EMS), Distribution Management Systems (DMS) and SCADA, to exchange data in a uniform manner.
For you as an installer, developer or system integrator, this means that IEC 61968-compliant devices and software can communicate easily without complex custom integrations. This simplifies the interconnection of BESS installations with energy networks, grid operators and monitoring platforms. The standard promotes interoperability, reliability and transparency in the energy chain, which is essential for smart energy management.

Application of IEC 61968 in practice
In practice, IEC 61968 ensures that your Frax BESS can interact effortlessly with energy management systems, metering infrastructures and smart grid solutions. Think about exchanging real-time information about load status, energy flows or grid balance, so that the EMS can respond immediately to changing conditions. This allows you to better respond to fluctuations in supply and demand, while increasing the efficiency of your installations.
For industrial applications, it enables advanced energy regulation and peakshaving. In residential environments, the standard ensures optimal interfacing with solar panels, charging stations and other smart devices. This unified communication allows you to confidently integrate systems from different vendors without compromising on performance or safety.
