Abstract
The development and implementation of actually functioning simulators of marine electrical equipment provide the necessary level of competence in the operation and maintenance of high-voltage and low-voltage electric power systems.
The work shows the possibilities of the developed high-voltage training complex for high-quality education, training and scientific research.
The need to apply the high-voltage simulator allows to form the required competence of the engine room personnel, develop methods and criteria for assessing competence, evaluate and demonstrate the practical skills obtained, and also provides an opportunity to conduct scientific research work.
The simulator reproduces most ship’s operating situations, provides training on monitoring, control and operation of high-voltage power plants. In addition to various combinations and modes of operation, it is possible to simulate normal and emergency situations and action under faulty conditions of high-voltage equipment in compliance with all safety procedures by using appropriate high-voltage instruments and personal protective equipment. The gained experience and skills on the high-voltage simulator allows the machine team personnel to work on various high-voltage equipment of ships
with electric movement, showing a high level of knowledge and training, and to implement the operation functions and management functions, and solve the problems of safe navigation.
The simulator was made taking into account the requirements of the PDMNV-78 Convention, section
A-I / 12, therefore, the working hours of candidates on this simulator can be counted into the qualification of practical training.
The gained knowledge and experience in the field of high-voltage technologies of ship’s systems will allow to increase the level of safety on ships, which is required by all international organizations.
