GRID-SIM
Substation, lineman and renewables O&M training simulator.
GRID-SIM trains the workforce that runs India's energy transition — DISCOM linemen, substation operators, wind-turbine technicians and solar PV crews. Addresses the ~15,000 annual electrocution deaths in India through arc-flash discipline, plus the new wave of distributed-renewable workforces who have never seen a substation, an inverter or a turbine nacelle. Governed by CEA Regulations 2023, Indian Electricity Rules, IEEE 1584 and IEC 61936.
Every feature, audit-grade.
- F / 01
33kV to 400kV substation environments
Greenfield and brownfield substation classes with switchgear, transformers, lightning arrestors and protection panels modelled to CEA-compliant geometry.
- F / 02
Arc-flash safety per IEEE 1584
Incident energy calculations, working distance discipline, PPE category selection. Trainees see exactly what an arc flash inside a switchgear cubicle looks like — once.
- F / 03
Switching procedures and permit-to-work
Sanction-for-test, line clear, danger notice and earthing sequences drilled until automatic. The procedural muscle memory that makes near-misses survivable.
- F / 04
Transformer maintenance procedures
Oil sampling, tap-changer maintenance, gasket replacement, BDV testing — under realistic isolation, earthing and access constraints.
- F / 05
Emergency response & black start protocols
Bus-bar fault response, transformer fire protocol, black-start re-energisation sequencing. The scenarios where the field cannot rehearse and the manual is not enough.
- F / 06
DISCOM lineman drills — working at height & wires-down
Pole-top discipline, fall-arrest anchoring, hot-stick handling and wires-down public-safety drills. The chronic safety failure mode of Indian state DISCOMs, made repeatable.
- F / 07
Wind nacelle entry, evacuation & blade-gearbox maintenance
Up-tower simulation without de-rating the turbine — GWO-aligned rescue, working-at-height in nacelle and blade-walk inspection. Built for ReNew, Adani Green and IPP service crews working remote sites.
- F / 08
Solar PV string, inverter commissioning & fire response
Standardised training for the technician wave India and the GCC are hiring against giga-solar build-outs. String installation, inverter commissioning, DC arc-fire response and roof anchor discipline.
- F / 09
Crew-level training — operator + supervisor seats
Two-seat or three-seat exercises with separate operator, supervisor and dispatch roles. Communication discipline trained as a team capability, not a checklist.
From briefing
to debrief.
- 01PermitPermit-to-work issued. Sanction-for-test verified. Line clear confirmed by the dispatcher.
- 02IsolateSwitching sequence executed. Visible isolation. Multi-point earth and tag application.
- 03Test deadVoltage-detector test of the working zone. Re-test before any contact.
- 04WorkThe maintenance task itself — under live boundary discipline and Cat-appropriate PPE.
- 05RestoreReverse sequence. Permit cancellation. Supervisor sign-off and incident-free close.
