Abstract

It is an important way to help students understand and master the knowledge of substation equipment, so we propose a virtual reality-based simulation system for substation practice. To address the existing problems of poor model reusability and low frame rate of system operation in the development of virtual reality substation, this paper adopts the Levels of Detail (LOD) model to build the geometric model of substation equipment, establishes a typical object interaction model through geometric transformation in three-dimensional space, and optimizes the model in terms of real-time and realism, realizing the substation The system achieves the functions of scene roaming, equipment display, and equipment disassembly in 3D scenes. The results show that the average frame rate of the system increased from 40 fps before optimization to 72 fps, the latency decreased from 34 to 13 ms, and the developed 3D virtual substation practice system can effectively provide sufficient immersion and realism with good interactivity.
