Summary

This brochure presents the main treats of an informal or near-formal definition of a simplified Domain-Specific Language (DSL), informally called PacDSL, intended for the formal specification of functional requirements of Protection, Automation and Control of electrical power systems. The definition covers the basic aspects of the lexicon, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of a typical DSL for this objective, that is agnostic to technology and proprietary solutions, aiming the needs of utilities, academics, manufacturers, and consultants. The brochure intends to document the need for this formalization, based on a survey among utility stakeholders, and to exemplify some possible constructs and Use Cases for this proposed language. It mainly shows its insertion in the engineering cycle during the requirement specification to be deployed on IEC 61850 and other implementation standards.
