The IEEE 2030.5-2018 standard defines the application layer in the TCP/IP model to enable utility management of the end user energy environment. This includes various functionalities such as demand response, load control, time of day pricing, and management of distributed generation and electric vehicles.

The standard takes into account different physical layers, such as IEEE 802.15.4, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 1901, and IEEE 1901.2, which may be involved in providing a complete solution. While lower layer protocols are not extensively discussed, the standard covers their direct interaction with the application protocol.

The standard specifies the mechanisms for exchanging application messages, including error messages, and the security features used to protect these messages. It follows a four-layer Internet stack model based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) network model. The application profile defined in this standard incorporates elements from existing standards like IEC 61968 and IEC 61850 and adopts a RESTful architecture using IETF protocols such as HTTP.
