Abstract :
The IEC 61850 standard inserted new paradigms on communication between power system protection equipments. In this new environment the involved engineers need to learn new concepts. One way to help engineers in learning these concepts is using a simulator. In this context, this paper presents the main characteristics and functionalities of an IEC 61850 network simulator which is being developed by Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) and Hydro Electric Company of San Francisco (Chesf), an utility company of Brazil.
