Simulator "Main Electrical Circuit of a 500/110/35/20/6 kV Power Plant"

The "Main Electrical Circuit of a 500/110/35/20/6 kV Power Plant" simulator is a specialized training system designed to simulate the operating modes of a high-voltage substation and a power plant with a multi-level voltage system.

The system reproduces the structure of a main electrical circuit with switchgear of various voltage classes—500, 110, 35, 20, and 6 kV—including communication transformers, autotransformers, transmission lines, generator circuit breakers, relay protection, and automation systems.

Simulator features:

– Simulation of normal, transient, and emergency operating modes;

– Practice of operational switching;

– Analysis of short-circuit currents and the consequences of equipment failures;

– Testing the algorithms of relay protection and emergency control systems;

– Developing dispatch and operational management skills.

The simulator allows students to visually monitor changes in electrical parameters, switching logic, and the response of protective devices under various power system operating scenarios.

The laboratory is used in the educational process for students majoring in energy sciences, as well as in advanced training programs for operating and engineering personnel at power plants and grid companies. The simulator ensures safe testing of complex technological processes without risk to real equipment and contributes to the training of highly qualified specialists in the field of electric power engineering.
