Research and implementation of 3D training system for substation simulation

In order to improve the ability of substation operators, the 3D training system using virtual technology is designed. It makes great sense to present the trainees with vivid scenes of the substation. Considering the diversity and complexity of substation equipment, the model should be carefully designed. In order to make the model flexible and reusable, model design can be decomposed into physical model design and electrical model design. Physical model focuses on the appearance and shape of the equipment, while the electrical model pays more attention to the behaviours. Physical models of the equipment must be designed elaborately according to its shape and make itself compatible with electrical model. The system can also exchange data with other system, such as online monitoring system. The system has deployed in an underground substation, and the time spend on model building has been greatly decreased.
