E-Learning whilst eliciting and working IEC 61850 Substation, a case study

This paper describes how help and tutorial is integrated into a prototype of a configurator (SCALCID) for a substation control system (ALCID II) based on IEC 61850 standard. After exposing the context and requirements for an e-teaching system, two approaches are described. The first one is made up of a gradual integration of software requirements specification into the prototype via standardized templates. The second one is based on a four categories organization of help and tutorial documents: prototype, IEC 61850, substation control domain and modelling languages. The help and tutorial documents can be textual, audio and video. The conclusion presents some lessons that were learnt
