Summary:IEC 61850 series specifies various elements of the power utility automation systems such as logical nodes defined as functional units, which must be chosen and woven by system engineers to meet user requirements. For a uniform usage of IEC 61850 in multiple utilities, the authors have developed functional specifications for monitoring and control in electrical power substation. This paper focuses on an IED testing system that allows automatic testing based on the functional specifications. The functional requirements for the testing system are clarified as the first step to construct the testing system. In addition, a conceptual design that meets the functional requirements is proposed by employing off-the-shelf tools, which leads to reduction in cost and lead time. The proposed testing system allows to evaluate a system composed of IEDs rather than a single IED.
