Abstract
Systems and methods to validating a firmware update of an intelligent electronic device (IED) of an electric power delivery system are provided. A system may include a computing device that communicatively couples to an intelligent electronic device (IED) of an electric power delivery system. The computing device may transmit a signal indicative of instructions to pause normal intelligent electronic device (IED) operation and apply a firmware update and transmit a signal including simulated power delivery system measurements to the intelligent electronic device (IED). The computing device may receive a signal indicative of test results from the intelligent electronic device (IED) and determine validation of the firmware update based on the test results.
