Technology for Developing Emedgency Respons Simulator for Operational Staff of Ukraine’s Electricite Distribution System Operators

<jats:p>The issue of providing simulators to support the training and maintenance of qualifica-tions for operational personnel of electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) is ex-amined. DSO dispatchers in Ukraine require modern technical tools for training and main-taining their quali¬fications due to the increasing complexity of electrical grids and fre-quent violations of ope¬rating conditions. Emergency response drills are the primary form of training, instruction, and skill rein-forcement for handling emergency situations and accidents. Traditional forms of training organization currently in use at DSOs do not fully ensure the development of consistent behavioral patterns and action strategies for trainees in specific emergency situations. The development of a technological process for creating emergency response simula-tors for OSR personnel, based on models of OSR dispatchers’ activities during emergency situations is presented. The technology is designed to enable expert organizers without programming skills to create emergency response training simulators based on real emer-gency response training programs currently in use at OSR enterprises.</jats:p>
