Power system restoration protocol for planned events in a real time simulator

This work presents the analysis of planned events in an electrical power network to establish the optimal system restoration protocol for recovering an electrical system. First, a technical description of each maneuver is provided, along with the operational protocol that is followed to decide whether or not it is feasible to carry it out. Once the decision is made to proceed, the preparation of the electrical network is demonstrated. To ensure that all those involved in the technical operational aspect follow a standard reconnection procedure, each event is simulated in the simulator, and the restoration sequence chosen by the person being evaluated is analyzed to determine whether the sequence followed is appropriate or if any specific steps could have been avoided and/or modified. Finally, an assessment is made to determine whether the person being evaluated is ready to operate the network live or if they need more training hours on the simulator. In this way, the simulator becomes an additional tool to the one-on-one teaching that is passed from an operator to their assistant until the latter is capable of operating the network on their own.
