A team from Bratsk CHP-6 has unveiled the concept of a virtual reality training simulator for maintenance workers. Powered by a digital twin of a turbine unit, the system will recreate every component of the equipment in detail, allowing employees to train in conditions that closely mirror real-world operations.

The engineering team presented the project at the international CASE-IN championship, where it placed fourth and received a special award.

"We identified two key challenges affecting equipment reliability: a shortage of maintenance personnel and instances of poor-quality repairs. That's why we chose to focus on improving the training of maintenance staff," said team captain Andrey Tasenko, Deputy Head of the Thermal Automation Department at CHP-6.

The proposal has also attracted the attention of En+ Group, which operates Bratsk CHP-6. The company expects to begin developing a pilot version of the simulator at the power plant in the near future.
