Simulating something means making it seem real, imitating a scenario, or predicting an event based on experiences in similar situations. Therefore, as Electric Power Systems are complex, mission-critical applications, with high financial costs and little tolerance for operational errors, Automa developed OTS, a tool which is capable of simulating such power systems without compromising their safety, stability and availability.
The product is ideal for training new operators and keeping the most experienced ones ready for any occurrences, as it allows a dynamic representation of the operations center. With OTS, it is possible to analyze the electrical system behaviour and its respective power flows in different events, such as maneuvers in circuit breakers and disconnecting switches, in a safe and reliable way.
Also, the operator practices dealing with different situations and learns how to act in a correct and quick manner when executing maneuver procedures. In addition to the operator training function, the simulator is also used as an approval platform for the SCADA system for improvements and optimizations.
OTS allows to create simulation environments with any SCADA system through integration by communication protocols in the electrical area. In addition, it is possible to import scenarios and sequences of real-time events, making training sessions very close to reality.
This Automa solution has a wide range of operations and can be used in the generation, distribution, transmission and electro-intensive industries. Therefore, the product helps to train operators in different areas and contributes to increasingly healthy and efficient work environments.
