Innovation Grid

Purpose: Use of VR and AR to support the engineering (training), maintenance, and control phases of the HVDC system, using virtual and augmented reality.

Objectives

The main objective of this R&D+I project is to investigate and propose software solutions and the adaptation of specific hardware, based on virtual and augmented reality interfaces, for the Engineering, operation, control, and maintenance of direct current transmission systems (HVDC) with real-time training and assistance components.

Key Results

  • Technical: VR and AR system for use in HVDC O&M
  • Strategic: O&M support
  • Economic: Reduction of PV variable portion
