Briefing paper: Smart train, metro and tramway systems – en
Travelling by train, tram or metro are favourite modes of transport for many of us: no traffic jams, no need to focus on the road ahead… we can just sit back and read a book, consult our smartphones or even fall asleep. One thing we rarely do, however, is to think about the hundreds of electrical and electronic devices and systems which enable trains, metros and trams to depart and travel to their destination safely.

Presentation: IEC and energy efficiency October 2019
Energy efficiency is the biggest and often largely untapped energy resource in the world. This presentation outlines the IEC approach to energy efficiency, definitions of energy efficiency, barriers, and many examples of how to improve energy efficiency of systems and devices.
Briefing paper: Transmission and distribution (T&D) – en
With rapidly increasing global population and the industrialization of developing countries, comes soaring demand for energy – particularly electric power. Transmitting and distributing electric power more efficiently and supplying it from renewable sources are ways of ensuring electricity requirements will continue to be met.

Briefing paper: IECEE services for industrial automation – en
Automation of manufacturing is increasing around the world. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), it is estimated that more than 1,7 million new industrial robots will be installed globally in factories between 2017 and 2020.
Smart manufacturing is the term used to describe the trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies.

Presentation: IEC work for energy efficiency
According to the International Energy Agency, energy efficiency is the biggest and often largely untapped energy resource in the world.
In the face of rising energy demand and a need to limit greenhouse gas emissions,
Briefing paper (e-tech articles): Focus on solar energy – en
This brochure contains a selection of articles from our magazine, e-tech, on the work of IEC for solar energy.
Presentation: Global energy interconnection White Paper
Global energy interconnection (GEI) is technically highly complex. It will require a level of dependability never seen before. International Standards inherently contain solutions that will help pre-address this complexity and they will play a crucial role in mastering dependability upfront. The global energy interconnection White Paper aims to assess the worldwide needs, benefits, policies and preconditions for GEI. This presentation provides a brief summary of the GEI White Paper including recommendations for regulators, industry and the IEC community.
Smart Cities are key in increasing efficiency – bylined article by Frans Vreeswijk Climate Change G7 meeting 2014
Smart Cities are key in increasing efficiency – bylined article by Frans Vreeswijk
(Excerpt of the article, which appears in the Official magazine of the 42nd G7 summit, 26-27 May 2016, Climate Change in the New Economy)
26 May 2016
…Electric power is the driving force of today’s cities. No electric power = no data collection = no Smart City.
By 2050, 66% of the world’s population is expected to be living in urban areas. Today cities consume around 70% of all energy produced globally, and they generate 70% of world GDP. The challenge will be to supply these populations with basic resources like safe food, clean water and sufficient energy, while also ensuring overall economic, social and environmental sustainability.
A systems approach
Cities are giant systems with countless subsystems which all depend on electric power and hardware to move people and things, collect data and exchange information. It is impossible to build an efficient urban infrastructure without reliable energy access.
However, today’s cities need to substantially increase the efficiency in which they operate and use their resources. Major efficiency improvements can be achieved by horizontally interconnecting individual systems such as electricity, water, sanitation and waste management, transportation, security, environmental monitoring or weather intelligence. This approach gives increased information sharing and coordination and helps manage incidents in one sector that impact the others. It also offers considerable opportunities for cost-reduction…

Briefing paper: IEC work for Energy Efficiency – en, fr, pt
The IEC defines energy efficiency as the ratio or other quantitative relationship between an output of performance, service goods or energy, and an input of energy.
