Why Online Simulation Training…?
22
The EDS Distribution Simulator
o National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA)
o Reinforce concepts covered in the online courses
o Currently no training simulator for Distribution Operators
o Future integration with grid and generation simulators
23
Why a Distribution Simulator?
o Generic - wide range of control room types
o Not based on a particular system. No system data available
o Determining what works best from a training perspective
o Graphics?

§ Operational Functionality
33
The phrase “operational functionality” focuses the training on how Protection Systems operate and prevent possible damage to Elements. It also addresses how RAS detects pre-determined BES conditions and automatically takes corrective actions.
Considerations for operational functionality may include, but are not limited to the following:
• Purpose of protective relays and RAS• Zones of protection• Protection communication systems (e.g., line current differential, direct transfer trip, etc.)• Voltage and current inputs• Station dc supply associated with protective functions• Resulting actions – tripping/closing of breakers; tripping of a generator step-up (GSU) transformer; or
generator ramping/tripping control functions
