Organizations: Electric Power Research Institute and major utilities

Case Study:
Utilities use 3D interactive simulations to train technicians and operators on substations, transmission systems, and grid operations.

Simulation Features:

• Virtual substations and switching procedures
• Lockout/tagout practice
• Hazard recognition
• Emergency outage response

Impact:

• Safer training without exposing workers to energized equipment
• Improved situational awareness
• Reduced field training risks

Results:
Utilities report fewer safety incidents and faster technician onboarding when simulation training is integrated.

Common Benefits Across Case Studies

Interactive simulation training consistently delivers:

• Safer learning environments
• Repeatable practice scenarios
• Faster skill development
• Reduced operational risk
• Lower training costs
