VR SOP Training for HV Substation Build & Commissioning

Safer energisation and cleaner handovers

Substations bring together civils, primary plant and protection relays. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your layouts, switching schedules, relay settings, CT/VT checks and SCADA points—so teams practise the exact sequence before live HV work.

Typical challenges

  • Build & test: foundations, earthing, SF₆/gas checks and wiring verification.
  • Protection & control: relay settings, primary/secondary injection and interlocks.
  • Energisation: permits, switching, phasing checks and contingency plans.
  • Handover: as-built docs, redlines and operations briefing.

How our bespoke build helps

  1. Capture SOPs & limits: switching sheets, FAT/SAT scripts and RAMS.
  2. Create scenarios: panel wiring checks, relay trip tests, first energisation and fault response.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your SCADA/RTU and checklists.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, safety holds and document completeness.

Benefits

  • Reduced switching risk and incidents.
  • Faster, confident commissioning.
  • Audit-ready evidence for utilities and owners.

Why Spark

Your switching rules, your relay schemes—encoded into clear, repeatable training your teams will use.
