摘要

The Paper presents the possibilities of using virtual reality techniques in interactive training of technical employees of a Distribution System Operator (DSO). It also describes the concept, assumptions and implementation method of the created Flexible Training System. Thanks to its capabilities, employees can participate in sophisticated training conducted in an innovative way eliminating the current disadvantages and limitations of classic – “real” training approaches. The System enables practice in two main categories of training used in the DSO environment: commutating operations and live-line works. Benefits and risks associated with system implementation in DSO structures are presented.
