Brochure: 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.

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,
News release: IEC report makes case for LVDC
Geneva, Switzerland, 26 September 2017 – Many devices and appliances we use today operate with low voltage direct current (LVDC), including LED lighting, IT equipment, electric vehicles and all devices containing batteries, to name a few. More recently, the use of DC motors in refrigerators, fans, and heating and cooling systems has improved energy efficiency. Additionally the cost of DC devices has greatly reduced.

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
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…

News release: New IEC White Paper – Global Energy Interconnection
Geneva, Switzerland, 16 February 2017 – Energy is central to nearly every major challenge and opportunity the world faces. However, one fifth of the world population still lacks access to energy and 3 billion people rely on wood, coal or animal waste for cooking and heating. Today, sustainable energy and climate change are big global concerns.
Brochure: 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.
