Abstract
The present disclosure is concerned with a Substation Automation testing tool which combines the information found in the SCL (Substation Configuration Language) File of a substation (Substation Configuration Description) or an IED (IED Capability description) with substation-relevant data extracted from the Substation Communication network traffic. Using a message interceptor, e.g., a laptop computer, connected to a substation communication network, IEC 61850 relevant data is retrieved and analyzed. Hence, consistency verification without revision handling and a reduction of the time and efforts for commissioning or testing a substation installation are possible.
