IEC/TC 129
Robotics for electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems
Standardization of robotics applied in power systems, i.e. power plants, substations, transmission and distribution lines, etc., mainly includes terminology, design, functions and performance, test methods, interfaces between robots and information systems, operation methods, and safety and security requirements. Robot systems used in power systems shall include those travelling on rails, on ground (via unmanned ground vehicles), in the air (just like unmanned aerial vehicles-based inspection robots), under water/liquid (via unmanned underwater vehicles), and on or inside equipment, etc. Standardization of edge computing as well as diagnosis and analysis of information acquired by robot systems also falls in the scope of the TC. This TC will coordinate with other relevant standardization organizations in the related fields, such as ISO/TC 299, and other IEC TCs which relate to industry specific applications, such as TC 82, TC 88, and TC 114. Robotics for nuclear power applications is excluded from the scope of this TC. Robotics applied in the electric power system means robotics which is featured with a degree of autonomy that allows for assisting or even replacing human workers to complete certain tasks, such as construction, patrol, inspection, operation and maintenance of electrical equipment.
