“…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 role of the Operator Training Simulator (OTS) has emerged as an important part of this training program because the OTS creates the real power system environment providing the necessary training opportunities [ 11. The computer models and algorithms for the EPRI OTS [2] were developed at Arizona State University under Electric Power Research Institute sponsorship and this OTS can be integrated with the existing Energy Management System (EMS) of any utility [3,4].…”

This paper presents a generic bipolar or monopolar multi-terminal multi-converter High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) system model suitable for Operator Training Simulators (OTS). This model is designed to train operators for AC-DC system operations and controls so that they can take appropriate actions quickly under emergency conditions. This model was developed for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) OTS and can handle the most complex HVDC configurations and controls like those, for example, in the Pacific Intertie.
