Note that some components that are duplicated in the IEC architecture view are only listed under one topic area here, for the sake of visuals. Are these in the correct place? E.g is Power Plants the right topic for Relays to fit under, or is there a better one? SUPPORTING TECHNOLOGIES Communications Electromagnetic Compatibility Power Quality DATA Frameworks Privacy One of the goals of this work will be to use colours on each box to provide a quick overview of the state of standards, technical committees, and urgency of each topic area (ie, ‘traffic light’ guidance). We would welcome your input on this, or additionally, if any areas need to be added, moved, or altered.
