Kalki SCL Manager is the leading Substation Configuration Software Platform, that enables substation engineers and design and commissioning engineers to build different substation configurations, architectures, models etc., quickly and cost effectively, without being to be experts in IEC 61850.
ASE’s Visual SCL is a graphical tool that allows the creation, editing and viewing of IEC 61850 SCL files without requiring knowledge of the underlying XML syntax. This allows the user to concentrate on the engineering process as opposed to XML syntax. IEC 61850-6 Visual SCL can be used for SAS functional specification (SSD files), IED capability description (ICD files), as well as SA system description (SCD files). Visual SCL contains high level graphical editing tools for the Substation, IED, and Communication models as well as a Data Template editor.

German utility EnBW (Number 3 in Germany) agreed to buy 25 per cent of EWE for 2 billion euros ($3.2 billion). EWE is quite active in the renewable and distributed energy market .. as well as in the telecom business and software development (BTC). EWE and BTC both support the standards IEC 61850 and IEC 61400-25.
EWE and EnBW have said that the Information and Communication Technologies are the base of the future smart power systems!
Dr. Brinker (CEO of EWE) said: "... That includes in particular the combination of energy, telecommunications and information technology as a precondition for intelligent energy supplies in the future".
More to come.

SmartGridCity in Boulder supported by Google, Current Group, Xcel Energy, ... at a core of a $ 100 million program !! The information exchange for the smart grid is based on Current Group's BPL (broadband-over-powerline). This allows that every information needed for the future smart power system is available at any time. more details...
The connectivity to the transformers may also be used to tap any kind of useful information from the respective substation. IEC 61850 compliant substation IEDs would simplify the access of any needed substation information like voltage, currents, frequency, power factor ...
More to come.
I found a free online SCL-Validator for IEC 61850.
"Here is a web-based SCL-validator provided to check the conformity of your SCL-files to the schema of IEC 61850-6.
Used version of the SCL-schema: xmlns="http://www.iec.ch/61850/2003/SCL" version="1.4"
All you need is to send your SCL-file into the application and get the validation result in a seperate window."

"Packed with the latest protection technology and featuring native support for the prevailing IEC 61850 substation communication standard, ABB's REF615 feeder protection relay is the ideal choice for the protection and control of your distribution substations. Implementing horizontal inter-relay communication and GOOSE services over an Ethernet substation LAN, the REF615 relays unleash the full potential of the IEC 61850 standard as demonstrated by a cost-effective, fast and reliable substation busbar protection system."
See the REF615 protection relay at the CIGRÉ 2008 Session in Paris, France, 24 - 29 August 2008.
REF615 Human Machine Interface (HMI) Simulator
The REF615 HMI Simulator offers you an easy and convenient way to get familiar with the HMI oerations and functionality of REF615.
Here is my IEC 61850 link collection (unsorted). Feel free to send me your favorite links to be added here.

“Eine Voraussetzung für die optimale Einbindung des wachsenden Anteils erneuerbarer Energien in die Stromversorgung ist die breit angelegte Aufrüstung mit Informations- und Kommunikationstechniken (IKT) im Bereich der Verteilnetze. Darauf wies der VDE am heutigen Mittwoch bei der Präsentation der Studie "Smart Distribution 2020" in Berlin hin. […]
Anstelle der heute zur Netzsteuerung vielfach verwendeten proprietären Kommunikationsprotokolle unterschiedlicher Hersteller plädiert die Studie für den konsequenten Einsatz des Standards IEC 61850 auf allen Netzebenen und Übertragungsmedien.”
Photovoltaik-Anlagen, Wasserkraftwerke, Brennstoffzellen, Blockheizkraftwerke, Dieselgeneratoren – jeder speist in das Verbundnetz ein, was er gerade zu bieten hat?
“[…] Dazu bedarf es eines Taktstockes, also eines Kommunikationsmediums, das alle angeschlossenen Teilnehmer gleichermaßen verstehen. Das DKE/K 952 Netzleittechnik ist der Ansicht, dass so ein Taktstock auf Basis der IEC 61850 definiert werden kann und hat hierzu den DKE/AK 917.0.17 einberufen”

A new project from German Section of the International Solar Energy Society (DGS) has started putting IEC 61850-7-420 on wheels: the Smart Grid Vehicle (SGV).
“Smart Grid Services: Electric cars are basically batteries storage systems on wheels and can serve as versatile distributed energy resources… managed via IEC 61850.”
Energie: VDE-Studie macht Vorschläge für die Einbindung von Ökostrom in Verteilungsnetze - Neue Speicher und Lastmanagement sollen den Anlagenbetrieb unterstützen
Das Ziel der Bundesregierung ist klar: Erneuerbare Energien sollen einen wachsenden Anteil an der Stromerzeugung erbringen. Doch die zahlreichen dezentralen Anlagen - von Windkraft über Biomasse bis Photovoltaik - müssen sinnvoll ins Netz eingepasst werden. Der Verband VDE erarbeitete dazu ein Konzept.
[…]
Der VDE plädiert für den konsequenten Einsatz des Standards IEC 61850 (Wikipedia EN), weil damit auch Datensicherheit gewährleistet sei.
