IEC 61850 standard has been internationally widely accepted, however implementing IEC 61850 within multi-vendor Intelligent Electronic Devices (IED)s environment has been realized as the most costly, efforts and consuming-time process based on the configuration of the IEDs and automation system (AS) in order to reach a smooth communication and achieve interoperability. Since the problem of the configuration within the multi-vendor environment is universal, it was deemed appropriate to propose a vender-neutral configuration tool to eliminate the problem. This paper demonstrates a novel approach for a new Substation Automation System (SAS) configuration tool which is independent from any commercial IEDs brand. It has the ability to import Substation Configuration Language (SCL) files from different vendors, IEDs, systems and data bases, makes and raise the relay configuration to the system level based on the full IEC 61850 standard including protection and feature setting level. Moreover, it separates the SAS configuration tasks between different SAS configuration engineers.
