Interactive Simulator for Electric Engineering Training

This paper presents a simulator to help electrical engineering students and professionals in the learning process. The proposed tool embodies Virtual Reality technologies on the improvement of understanding equipment maneuvers in distribution power systems. The tool has a virtual didactic distribution network in which the students handle several real tasks related to operation and maintenance of distribution network through applied technology. We hope that this tool can contribute to develop and improve professional skills in engineering at a low cost and furthermore it supports laboratory and associated technical activities.
