Simulated reality - A simulator to put network operators in control

摘要

The electrical world is changing! Several power systems which had the reputation of being extremely reliable have experienced large scale blackouts in recent years. One of the keys to avoiding this is the thorough training of dispatchers, ie, teaching them how to deal with unexpected situations quickly and decisively. An important component of dispatcher training is practicing on a simulator. For such lessons to be genuinely useful, the simulator's behavior must be as close as possible to that of the real system Until now, simulators may have been very good at simulating certain phenomena, but less optimal at others. A Dispatcher Training Simulator (DTS), (known as FAST-DTS) jointly developed by ABB and Tractebel Engineering in Belgium, is using a completely new model to produce more accurate simulation results than ever before!
