YÜKSEK GERİLİM YAĞ DELİNME TESTİ İÇİN SANAL GERÇEKLİK UYGULAMASI

Abstract

Elektrik mühendisliği (Yüksek Gerilim Tekniği, Yüksek Gerilim Laboratuvarı), Meslek Yüksekokulları (Yüksek Gerilim Cihazlarının Bakımı ve İşletmesi) ve Teknik Liselerde verilen yüksek gerilim eğitimi kapsamında kritik bir öneme sahip olan izolasyon yağı delinme dayanımı testinin, sanal gerçeklik (SG) teknolojisi kullanılarak etkin, güvenli ve maliyet-etkin biçimde gerçekleştirilmesini sağlamaktır. Geleneksel yüksek gerilim laboratuvarlarının barındırdığı güvenlik riskleri, ekipman erişim kısıtlamaları ve yüksek işletme maliyetleri gözetildiğinde, SG tabanlı eğitim ortamının öğrencilere daha güvenli, erişilebilir ve tekrarlanabilir bir öğrenme deneyimi sunması hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmada nicel yöntem ve yarı deneysel desen benimsenmiş; izolasyon yağı delinme dayanımı testi simülasyonu ASTM D1816 standardına uygun şekilde Unity oyun motoru kullanılarak geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmaya lise düzeyinden 34, önlisans düzeyinden 26 ve lisans düzeyinden 24 öğrenci olmak üzere toplam 84 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Bulgular, SG tabanlı eğitim alan deney grubu öğrencilerinin son test başarı puanlarının tüm eğitim kademelerinde kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı biçimde daha yüksek olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATION FOR HIGH VOLTAGE OIL DIELECTRIC BREAKDOWN TESTING

Abstract

The aim is to ensure that the dielectric strength test of insulating oil—a critical component of high-voltage education offered in electrical engineering programs (High-Voltage Technology, High-Voltage Laboratory), vocational colleges (Maintenance and Operation of High-Voltage Equipment), and technical high schools—is conducted in an effective, safe, and cost-efficient manner using virtual reality (VR) technology.. Considering safety risks, equipment access limitations, and high costs of traditional HV laboratories, a VR-based educational environment was developed to provide students with a safer, more accessible, and repeatable learning experience. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design was employed. The simulation was developed using the Unity game engine in compliance with ASTM D1816, with the BA100 Portable Oil Tester and VDE electrodes modeled in Blender. A total of 84 participants were recruited: 34 high school, 26 associate degree, and 24 undergraduate students. Results showed that experimental group post-test scores were statistically significantly higher than control group scores at all education levels.
