Virtual Reality for Monitor and Control of Electrical Substations

This project presents the results obtained from a new strategy based on Virtual Reality techniques, which intends to minimize the operational issues caused in electric power substations due to the lack of spatial and functional information on the traditional operation interfaces. For this purpose, a three-dimensional interactive virtual reality environment was built in a realistic and accurate way regarding an energy supplier substation in Minas Gerais - Brazil and subsequently implanted it in its operation center for tasks related to its functioning. Lastly, tests were applied to operators to obtain results aiming at the contextualized problems.
