Uma proposta de um procedimento para a geração semiautomática de ambientes virtuais para subestações de energia elétrica

Abstract

supervisory control. The existence of a virtual environment, geometrically compatible with the real substation, minimizes the difference between the mental model constructed by field operators and the control room, improving communication. Additionally, such systems may be used as information visualization interfaces for power systems simulators, or as training environment for teachers, graduate students, field operators and other professionals related to support and maintenance. Nevertheless, the development process related to these applications is quite complex, including activities as computer programming, 3D modeling, usability studies and project management and tracking. This work presents a procedure, supported by some new software extensions, to make the development of 3D virtual power substations easier. By providing tight integration between traditional CAD software and 3D engines, the tools presented here are evaluated to several scenarios associated with real substations of CEMIG Generation and Transmission company.
