Abstract

Control Centre operators are essential to assure a good performance of Power Systems. Operators actions are critical in dealing with incidents, especially severe faults, like blackouts. In this paper we present an Intelligent Tutoring approach for training Portuguese Control Centre operators in incident analysis and diagnosis, and service restoration of Power Systems, offering context awareness and an easy integration in the working environment.

The authors would like to thank FCT foundation and FEDER, PEDIP, POSI, POSC, and PTDC programmes for their support in several research projects leading to the development of the work described here.
