Substation automation, as well as other utility automation domains, requires adequate design tools in order to cope with increasingly demanding budget, resource and time-todeployment requirements in an engineering domain where information complexity and size are growing . In the light of recent standardization, namely IEC 61850 , two development trends are established: a shift from data point based modelling towards object-orientation and a shift from document-driven design towards model-driven design. These trends mark the next generation of SAS design, which can be achieved by handling system object models in an integrated engineering environment.
