A METHOD FOR CONFIGURING AN INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND A SUBSTATION AUTOMATION SYSTEM

摘要

A method is disclosed for configuring an intelligent electronic device (IED) that includes enabling dynamic capability of the IED by a flexible data modeling technique to dynamically adapt a data model based on an application requirement using a configuration tool. A substation automation system is also disclosed which includes a local system equipment having a plurality of IEDs associated with the local system equipment and an IED configuration tool configured to interact with the firmware of each IED to configure the IED based on application requirements. The application configuration tool can include dynamic capability information of the IED to enable a flexible data model in the IED.
