Abstract

The training of power grid operators took a major leap forward with the introduction of operator training simulators (OTSs) in the late 1970s, but the demands on OTS-based training have increased with the ongoing transformation of the grid. Today, blackouts occur as a result of outages that typically impact multiple transmission operators, multiple balancing authorities (BAs), and multiple reliability coordinators (RCs). Therefore, this article focuses on training that involves teams of system operators who work cooperatively in neighboring control centers. With more generation resources being placed in the distribution systems, these coordinating operators to be trained are in the distribution control centers. Blackouts used to be associated mainly with instability, uncontrolled separation, and cascading outages. This situation is changing, with blackouts now also occurring due to systemic emergencies, such as firestorms, extreme weather, hurricanes, and cyberattacks.
操作员培训的挑战:在不断发展的电网中避免停电
随着20世纪70年代末操作员培训模拟器(OTS)的引入,电网操作员的培训取得了重大飞跃,但随着电网的不断转型,对基于OTS的培训的需求也在增加。如今,停电是停电的结果,停电通常会影响多个输电运营商、多个平衡机构(BA)和多个可靠性协调员(RC)。因此,本文的重点是涉及在相邻控制中心协同工作的系统操作员团队的培训。随着更多的发电资源被放置在配电系统中,这些需要培训的协调操作员都在配电控制中心。停电过去主要与不稳定、不受控制的分离和连锁停电有关。这种情况正在发生变化,由于系统性紧急情况,如风暴、极端天气、飓风和网络攻击,现在也会发生停电。
