Abstract

Training of substation trainees using virtual platforms is one of the priorities to realize cost reduction and efficiency. This paper designs an intelligent substation virtual training system containing six modules such as instructor machine to enhance the visualization level of intelligent virtual training. The use of VR technology and other collection of substation power equipment related information, complete the substation actual layout scene modeling, and incorporate a sense of reality in the fault judgment link. Combine with virtual reality engine technology to complete the resource control management of the virtual training platform, and improve the development and design of the platform’s practical training scenes. After completing the validity verification, the platform is applied to the training of substation trainees, and its value of use is analyzed in the light of the training results. The results show that the error between the simulation value of relay protection current/voltage and the sampling value of the platform is only 0.7%, 0.5%, 0.2%, 0.9%, which is relatively small. 22-36 years old training trainees, the younger female trainees are more active in the problem feedback. Female trainees had a maximum of 2.4% over male trainees in homework completion and a maximum of 0.47 over O&M theory exam scores.
