A New Idea for Training Operators

Background. The military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine raised new requirements for the comprehensive training of military personnel, in particular, psychological training for combat operations. The movement towards compliance with NATO standards is also confirmed by the experience of conducting combat operations by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The introduction of the latest approaches in training provides the necessary impetus, becoming a trend of increasing the effectiveness of military personnel on the battlefield. Methods . The source base of the research consists of documents of the armies of NATO countries, professional literature in the field of psychology, publications in professional psychological issues. The method of review and analytical research of the literature was used – to find out the methodological approaches to conducting psychological measures for the training of the personnel of the armies of NATO countries. Results . The analysis shows that NATO countries and other developed countries are guided by the developments and experience of the US Army in training military personnel for combat operations. The main priorities for the training of the US Army are the training of command staff with high adaptability and the training of highly professional personnel. The basis of the psychological training of military personnel is the formation of a system of psychological stability ("resilience") to potentially traumatic factors of professional activity and the prevention of negative consequences of combat and operational stress. Conclusions. The results of the analysis indicate the need for more effective coordination of the efforts of the relevant structures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in order to make the organization of psychological training of military personnel conform to NATO standards.

During the operation of hydroelectric power plants, issues arise of improving the skills of hydroelectric power plant personnel, which can be ensured by the introduction of simulators for targeted training of personnel to work both in normal operating conditions and in pre-emergency and emergency situations as close as possible to real ones. It should be noted that the developers of simulators in the Russian energy sector peviously focused on the creation of simulators for thermal power plants, leaving hydroelectric power plants overshadowed. To date, TEST JSC has developed and implemented simulators for Irkutskaya, Bratskaya, Ust-Ilimskaya, Krasnoyarskaya, Ondskaya, Pavlovskaya and Yumaguzinskaya HPPs. This paper discusses the development for the Yumaguzinskaya HPP: a simulator with dynamic computer-aided mnemonic circuits of hydraulic units and electrical circuits of one of the Russian hydroelectric power plants, which will arouse interest among readers of the journal and potential customers. The article describes the prototype facility, the composition of the simulator, which includes a model of the facility and operating modes, a model of the control system, a model of the protection system, a model of locks, a model of emergency and warning alarms, describes in detail the educational and methodological support of the simulator complex, including models of training scenarios, an introductory model, a monitoring program, protocols and instructions. The organization of effective simulator training of operational and maintenance personnel on the simulator for operational switching of the Yumaguzinskaya HPP is achieved through the implementation in the simulator of the following main simulated subsystems: trainee's workplace model, instructor's workplace model, control object model, control system model, training system model. The hydroelectric power plant simulator presented in the paper is versatile and can find practical application both as a tool for training and examination of knowledge of operational personnel, and as a means for conducting occupational skills contests.

As annals show, the first hydroelectric power plants were built in Russia in 1802 – 1806. During the Soviet period of energy development, emphasis was placed on the special role of the country’s unified national economic electrification plan — GOELRO, which was approved on December 22, 1920. The chapter of the plan dedicated to hydropower was entitled "Electrification and water energy". In today’s Russia about 1/3 of power is produced at hydroelectric power plants. Accordingly, there arise issues of advanced training of personnel of hydroelectric power plants, which can be provided by the introduction of simulators for targeted training of personnel to work, both in normal modes and in pre-emergency and emergency situations, as close as possible to real ones. Unfortunately, the developers of simulators in the Russian energy sector have so far focused on creating simulators for thermal power plants, leaving hydroelectric power plants neglected. It can therefore be assumed that this article, which examines a simulator with dynamic computer mimic diagrams of hydraulic units and electrical circuits of one of the Russian hydroelectric power plants, will arouse some interest among readers of the journal and potential customers. The article describes a prototype facility, the composition of the simulator, which includes a model of the facility and operating modes, a model of the control system, a model of the protection system, a model of locks, a model of emergency and warning alarms, describes in detail the training and methodological support of the simulator complex, including models of training scenarios, an input model, a monitoring program, protocols and instructions. The hydroelectric power plant simulator presented in the article is versatile and can be applied both as a means of training and examination of operational personnel, and as a means for conducting professional skills competitions.

The use of computer training tools based on digital simulators of technological objects in professional training provides an increase in the psychological stability of operational personnel in emergency situations, a reduction in the number of technological violations associated with personnel errors, as well as an increase in the level of reliability and trouble-free operation of equipment, safety property management, safety and health of personnel of electric power facilities. The use of computer simulators also increases the cognitive activity of students, while ensuring the safety of both students and equipment. Professional training of operational personnel using software and hardware complexes is implemented in PJSC Mosenergo, and therefore the article presents some results of work in this area.

For the Romanian Air Force, the promotion of the military profession, recruitment, selection, initial training, as well as the training of aeronautical personnel represents the most complex and laborious activity, since reaching the operational level requires going through the algorithm of a process that is characterized by a relatively long duration of training, impressive costs and, last but not least, risks specific to the aeronautical environment. The trajectory of this process has as its starting point the recruitment and selection of candidates for admission to the higher and post-secondary military institutions of the Air Force, specialized in the training of specialists in military aeronautics. The final point of this path is the combat unit, where the training of the aeronautical personnel takes the form of specialization for the technique served and the achievement of the performance indices that give it the status of operational aeronautical personnel. The finality of this process is realized in the achievement of the fundamental objective for the Romanian Air Force - the provision of large units and air units with well-trained aeronautical personnel, capable of performing the entire range of aeronautical activities, which can only be achieved through the quality of staged training formative-instructive algorithm.
