Overview

Hands-on training with technical equipment can be a challenge for facilitators but it's critical for learning. There was a time when it only made financial sense to build a virtual simulation for flight training. Now, the cost of virtual reality has decreased dramatically and the benefits of immersive training that mimic the real-thing are numerous.

Power engineering, also called power systems engineering, is a subfield of electrical engineering that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution, and utilization of electric power, and the electrical apparatus connected to such systems. Power engineering jobs are high in demand but training requires working with large physical power systems like boiler rooms. Getting hands on training time in these facilities is difficult and possibly dangerous for new engineers so virtual reality training simulations make much more sense.

UP360 worked with a consortium of 7 Ontario colleges and universities, to develop the Power Engineering Virtual Training Simulator. This tool gives students hands-on, lifelike training in a risk free virtual environment.

About The Simulation

Follow the steps to start up the boiler from cold using natural gas as its main fuel.

Follow the steps to start up the boiler from cold using No. 2 Fuel Oil as its main fuel.

Starting with the system full on and using No. 2 Fuel Oil as its main fuel, follow the steps to completely shut it down.
