“…However, this technology has not been actively applied in the field of electric power systems. Some VR applications for power system personnel training were developed (Arroyo & Arcos, 1999;Garant et al, 1995;Okapuu-von Veh et al, 1996;Tam et al, 1998;Tam, Badra, Marceau, Marin, & Malowany, 1999). However, these trainings were focused on simple tasks such as control switching operation, and most of them were carried out by use of a simple desktop-based VR training system and not the immersion type.…”

This article presents a training system for live-line workers. The developed training system is based on immersive virtual reality and automatic speech recognition technology. The training is focused on live-line Cut-Out-Switch (COS) replacement work in a distribution system. Most work in power systems must be free of interruption, so it is carried out by live-line techniques. However, these techniques have increased the number of accidents by electric shock. Because most electric accidents are due to live-line work, it is important to train live-line workers. The proposed training system provides repeated and cost-effective training for a small space. It also guarantees safety during training operations. In this article, the background of live-line techniques and the work procedure of COS replacement are presented. The architecture of the developed system, the creation of the virtual work environment, and the collision detection among virtual objects are also described.

“…Complex technical environments depend heavily on properly-trained operators for a multitude of systems, but are often associated with high on-site training costs and safety hazards that tend to make training sessions difficult or impossible, and thereby less frequent and available to fewer individuals. When training is improper or insufficient, damage and injury to both equipment and personnel are a very real threat, ultimately impacting costs, operational efficiency and the quality of the working environment (Prais, Johnson, and Bose, Curtice, 1989;Tamt, Badrat, Marceauf, Marint and Malowanyt, 1999). The same aspects apply to Transelectrica.…”

This paper presents the web application -AITRANS -used for the periodic training and testing of operative staff in high voltage substations of the Timisoara Branch of Transelectrica, the Romanian Power Transmission System Operator. According to legislation in Romania, operative staff of the Transmission System Operator (TSO) must accomplish a given number of hours of training every semester where they will be familiarized with new and/or modified procedures and the legislation used in the operation of high voltage power system substations. After these training sessions, each person must take a test to ensure proper assimilation of the new information. To optimize the training and evaluation process, a web application was developed. With a user name and password (for user level), each member of the operative staff can log in and study the materials at any time, and also self-assess their knowledge by taking several tests. The administrator can remotely observe the training status of each person, and will also generate a final test at the end of the training period. Using the web application instead of the traditional method of training and testing proved to be very effective. The feedback from staff was positive.

“…The earliest power training system based on computer developed in the United States until 1971 [4].However, Canada and other countries developed the simulation training systems which were based on virtual reality technology in 1990 [5] [6]. In China, the research on the substation simulation system began in 1970, the first substation simulation training system using two-dimensional images was developed in 1990 [7].…”

Abstract. In order to improve the reality of substation training environment, a 3D training system is developed to train operators' operating skills and ability to deal with accidents by means of a virtual reality environment. Functions, architecture, key technologies and application of the substation simulation training system are described in this paper. It has been applied to several electrical power companies and training colleges. The result shows that the system can simulate the running process of substation vividly and improve the training effect. There is no need to enter the substation to carry out the actual operation practice.
