Title: Modelling an outdoor substation with dynamically occurring faults and conducting a preventative inspection
Keywords: Abstract: Electrical substations are critical components of the electrical grid, responsible for voltage regulation, switching and protection of the electrical system. However, like any other complex system, substations are vulnerable to various problems such as sparks, oil leaks, cracks and other malfunctions, which can lead to equipment damage, power outages and safety risks. In this paper, a 3D model of the outdoor part of a substation is proposed for educational purposes. The model allows students to carry out the behaviour of a professional electrician who performs a routine preventive walk by interacting with the system. During the experimental walk-through in the virtual electrical substation, students can observe various weather conditions, detect potential equipment problems that occur randomly, and report the need to fix them. The problems, which can be found in the electrical substations during the preventive inspections and the actions that must be taken by the electricians in these cases are analysed. Experimental results confirm the utility of realistic, interactive, 3D modelling of real-world objects for educational purposes.
