The purpose of this part of IEC 62257 is to specify the general requirements for generators
(maximum power = 100 kVA) in decentralized rural electrification systems.
The aim is to point out the main items that must be considered when selecting, sizing,
installing, operating and maintaining this equipment.
This technical specification is a general introduction followed by more specific documents
dedicated to the generation technologies which are the most currently used in rural
electrification projects.
