Summary
Despite IEC 61850 standardization, the specification phase of Protection, Automation, and
Read more Read lessControl Systems (PACS) remains document-centric, limiting traceability, reuse, and lifecycle integration.
This paper introduces a PLM-based, model-driven methodology for Substation Automation
Systems (SAS) that establishes a continuous digital thread across the engineering lifecycle using Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and the Common Requirement Modeling
Language (CRML). A prototype toolchain demonstrates a data-centric workflow enabling structured requirements modeling, early validation through simulation and formal verification, and full traceability of engineering artifacts. The approach is validated through a primary substation load-shedding case study. This paper supports the CIGRE B5 mission by promoting a standards-based, interoperable engineering framework that improves collaboration, engineering efficiency, and system quality while reducing vendor lock-in.
