Intelligent Tutoring and Training Tools for the Electric Power Sector Developed at IIE

The electric power industry requires qualified personnel to support an optimal and safe operation. Since its beginnings, the IIE has been developing different training technologies and systems for CFE, the main utility for generation, transmission and distribution of electric power in Mexico. Some of these endeavors provide tailored instruction considering trainees traits such as learning styles, affective states and current knowledge. Other developments are focused on enabling multifunctionality. The IIE has also developed intelligent assistant systems, virtual reality systems, and power plant simulators. Besides this, the IIE is interested in developing e-learning platforms to support CFE’s personnel training. This paper presents a summary of these developments.
