Electric power system training simulation software and process for electric power system training

A Process for Electric Power System Training using an existing set of electric power system modeling algorithms comprising:

• Providing the electric power system operational data to be plugged into the electric power system modeling algorithms;
• Providing a graphical man-machine interface with the electric power system modeling algorithms;
• Initiating and ending a simulation session over a given time set for the session;
• continually changing specific parameters in the simulation scenario as time progresses within the simulation session in response to preprogrammed commands and operator interaction;
• storing a history of selected parameters over the course of the simulation session;
• and
• presenting session data in graphical form based on output from the electric power system modeling algorithms at the end of the simulation time;
• identifying a satisfactory target performance range for each selected system parameter at each point in time during the session defining a baseline performance target data for each selected parameter;
• and
• providing numerical feedback to an operator by calculating a numerical grading of the session based upon a comparison of the actual simulation performance data for each selected parameter and the baseline performance target data at each point in time throughout the session.
