Training Routine for Electrical Power Station Operators Using Virtual Reality

This paper presents the use of Virtual Reality (VR) to improve the content learning and practice of electrical power stations power station operators, where a training routine was created for them using a tool of the RVCEMIG software, called Routine Editor. With this training routine an operator will go through a self-guided visit, with the objective of identify electrical equipment of power station. using instructions will be given to him and at the end of the visit, a learning assessment is carried out with questions about the observed equipment. The final purpose of the method is to use to improve the traditional training method. Where, using a model for creating feedback reports, called Kirkpatrick model, it will be possible to carry out these comparisons properly in order to measure the changes achieved by the use of the tool within the company, being able to demonstrate the benefits of this new type of training.
