Electrical Power Enterprise Training System Based on Interactive 3D Virtual Reality

In recent years, the electrical power enterprises require skilled personnel to operate and maintain the complex systems. The trainees need effective training for the systems to ensure safety, efficiency and reliability. The existing electrical power system faced several challenges due to complex systems and high voltage risks with limited hands-on experience. To overcome these issues, interactive 3D Virtual Reality (3D-VR) is proposed for maintaining realistic experience for the trainees. Initially, the Building Information Modelling (BIM) is utilized to generate 115 kV substation data for an accurate 3D model of electric power training system. Further, the BIM model is integrated with VR simulator, where it enables immerse experience for trainees in the substation environment. Then, the interactive 3D simulator is employed to create a realistic environment for enterprise training system to the trainers. Finally, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model is incorporated to evaluate the performance with complex pattern recognition. At last, the CNN model detects the unusual behaviors of trainees based on probability threshold and provides personalized feedback. From the results, the proposed interactive 3D-VR attained better results in terms usability (68.23<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">%</sup>) and Learnability (45.32<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">%</sup>) of when compared to existing VR.
