Sustaining Situational Assessment in Electrical Network Power Control
研究电力传输控制中，正式培训的时效性和工作兴奋感如何帮助操作员在一年内维持情境评估能力，对电网调度员培训有参考价值。
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine contributions to sustained situational assessment over an extended period in the context of electricity transmission control. BACKGROUND: The electricity industry is engaged in a period of unprecedented change in the transition to renewable sources of energy. Changes in the nature and function of electricity transmission risks a reduction in situational assessment as network controllers place increased reliance on advanced technology to identify and diagnose changes in the system state. METHOD: Transmission network controllers from three organisations completed an assessment of their situational assessment on two occasions, one year apart. RESULTS: Multiple regression revealed a statistically significant model in which the variance in Year 2 was predicted by a combination of performance in Year 1, the recency of formal training, and the extent to which controllers perceived their job as exciting. No relationship was evident for years of experience as a network controller. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that a combination of recent formal training and perceptions of job excitement may have implications in maintaining the capacity for situational assessment over an extended period in the context of electricity network control. APPLICATION: The outcomes of the present study suggest that changes in situational assessment can be monitored and that strategies, including formal training and job design, may sustain situational assessment over an extended period in advanced technology settings.
