This paper presents the architecture and development of a virtual reality environment for powers systems substations operators training. The proposal intents to reduce the training time for new operators and increase the effectiveness of the continuous training of operators. Using the simulation, the operator can interact with a virtual reality interface (immersive or non immersive) viewing the state of the power system captured through the supervisory system and acting through the virtual environment operating the substation, without exposing the system to dangerous situations, avoiding the occurrence of injuries of any kind. Also, the training sessions can be analyzed offline by an instructor.
