“…In order to determine the nominal short-circuit establishment capacity, it is necessary to know the asymmetry factor (f), which can be calculated by equation (4). Considering the time constant (τ) of 45 ms, the value of f calculated by equation ( 4) is 2.6, as also established in references [6] and [11].…”

“…The areas of knowledge for the training of electrical engineering professionals include the study of electrical equipment, including circuit breakers. The need to know electrical equipment and experience its actual operation is fundamental [4]. Streamlining the sizing process not only streamlines decision-making but also promotes a more accessible and faster understanding for professionals in the field.…”

During the increasing complexity of electrical systems, the need for more effective and accessible methods becomes evident, seeking to balance technical precision, operational practicality and safety. This article proposes an innovative and simplified method for the sizing of power circuit breakers, aiming to optimize the efficiency of the selection process of these crucial equipment for the electrical infrastructure. The sizing methodology aimed at specifying the main characteristics of power circuit breakers offers a systematic and comprehensive approach, integrating critical considerations ensuring the correct functioning of these equipment in various electrical contexts. The process consists of several steps, covering everything from the initial analysis to the final selection of the appropriate circuit breaker. The modified power method is applied to the definition of the short-circuit characteristics and is introduced in the sizing criteria based on the operation of the electrical system for the analysis in normal operation of the system. A test system of a pumping station consisting of a 69 kV substation is studied. The proposed methodology met its objectives, presenting precision and effectiveness, and can be a very useful tool for project engineers in electricity.

“…In [6] an Immersive Virtual Environment using HMDs, joysticks or even an ordinary keyboard, mouse and monitor is proposed to provide a realistic experience to trainees in a safe environment where they can interact with equipment, explore the facility and, mainly, practice basic and complex maneuvers to recover substation operations. A real model of a substation of 138 kV in three dimensions using software Sketchup to aid in the learning of students and professionals is proposed in [7]. However, it allows only 3D viewing.…”

Power substations play a key role in electrical systems. They aim to ensure system reliability, electrical operation without interruptions and safety and protection for the users and system. In this sense, the knowledge of the main concepts associated with substations is essential for the training of students and engineers who work in this area. However, the development of substation courses and training by conventional methodologies does not allow an optimal integration with users. In general, technical visits are used as an auxiliary activity. However, it takes time, since it is usually far from urban centers, where educational institutions are located, and additionally, for safety reasons, it is not allowed being close to the equipment, especially in high voltage substations. In this context, the use of virtual reality may offer educational mechanisms for users to have improved knowledge retention and motivation. Thus, this paper presents a virtual substation as a teaching tool to complement substation courses and trainings. The present system mitigates the impact on the courses and training quality, when it is not possible or it's difficult the access on site. For example, the scenarios caused by COVID-19, which imposes remote trainings and classes at companies and universities.
