This paper presents the architecture and development of a virtual reality environment for powers systems substations operators training. The proposal intents to reduce the training time for new opera- tors and increase the effectiveness of the continuous training of operators. Using the simulation, the operator can interact with a virtual reality in- terface (immersive or non immersive) viewing the state of the power system captured through the supervisory system and acting through the virtual environment operating the substation, without exposing the sys- tem to dangerous situations, avoiding the occurrence of injuries of any kind. Also, the training sessions can be analyzed offline by an instructor. Keywords: Virtual Reality Systems · Power Systems Training 1 Introduction Power systems have a complex operation, needing qualified professional that are able to take complex decisions in order to maintain the compromise between safety and economy. These systems must be working continuously. The monitoring and correct actions are fundamental for keeping it working. The capacity of identify the correct electric power system state depends on several factors, such as emergency and restoration procedures and continuous training. Beyond power system complexity there are the inherent risks associated with the operation of power transmission and distribution systems. This training be- comes a priority for a growing number of electricity companies. This continuous training is needed to keep the operator updated with the maneuvers, proce- dures and norms. This is fundamental to ensure the efficiency when performing procedures and also to maintain the operation process continuously.
