Guidance in selecting the quantity and types of equipment, the equipment ratings, interconnections, instrumentation and protection is also provided. This recommendation is applicable for power generation, substation, and telecommunication applications. Scope: This recommended practice provides guidance for the design of stationary dc power systems.
This introduction is not part of IEEE Std 946-2020, IEEE Recommended Practice for the Design of DC Power Systems for Stationary Applications. DC power systems continue to play a vital role in generating station, substation, and telecom controls and providing backup for emergencies.

The components of the dc power system addressed by this document include lead-acid and nickel-cadmium storage batteries, static battery chargers, and distribution equipment. Guidance in selecting the quantity and types of equipment, the equipment ratings, interconnections, instrumentation and protection is also provided.
