Design premise

Every scene is a decision with a consequence, not a slide. The learner works one night shift from the operator's desk; the turbine, the string and the sea are where the evidence lives. The 2D simulator and the 3D scene read the same case file (scenarios.js), so the cases, scores and feedback are identical in both.

Shift structure

One shift = four alarm cases, one per pattern, drawn from a bank of eight (two per pattern) and dealt in a random order. Each case has four steps:

  1. Look. Open the part the alarm points to, or anything else: the other drivetrain parts, the met mast, the sister turbines. The call stays locked until the part holding the deciding evidence has been opened.
  2. Call. Restart, Restart derated, Hold for inspection, or Escalate to the shift lead. The consequence plays out on the machine.
  3. Pattern. "Which input decided this case?" Four options, shuffled, scored separately.
  4. Pushback. On rising-trend and recurrence cases, if the learner held or escalated, the production desk radios in; the learner picks a reply.

The shift ends with a handover note (LO3, formative) and the debrief.

Frames

F1 · 23:15, the operator's desk. The alarm list, the 20-minute trend and the string map are on the three monitors; the CCTV wall shows the farm live. The clock and the window match the case time.

F3 · String B from above at night. Aviation lights blink in sync on every nacelle; yellow navigation lights mark each platform. T-06 and T-08 are labelled because they share T-07's feeder.

F4 · T-07 at dusk (ALARM 087). The scale is real: 112 m hub height, 80 m blades. A GRP nacelle with rounded shoulders, bolted panel joints, louvred intakes, an open-frame roof cooler and a helihoist deck. The panel on the right carries every stop and part as a button, so nothing needs a mouse.

F5 · The roof hatches swing up and out between the shoulders. Main bearing, gearbox with its accelerometer, brake and the yaw ring are visible from above; the work lamp marks the part the alarm names (location only, never a verdict).

F6 · Evidence on the part (087, cleared). The day crew's inspection card is cable-tied to the generator housing: inspected 14:20, grease OK, no play, alarm cleared. People stay off-screen; their traces do not.

F7 · Evidence on the part (092, rising). The planetary-stage hatch is open; vibration is 4.8 mm/s against a 2.0 baseline and still climbing. There is no card here: nobody has been up-tower.

F8 · Evidence on the part (079, cleared). Work order WO-5512 taped to the forward converter cabinet's door and the clogged inlet filter, bagged on the floor in front of it.

F9 · Evidence on the part (094, recurrence). Seen through the open hub: the painted alignment stripe across blade C's root and its pitch bearing is broken, so the blade is not at full feather. On a healthy blade the stripe runs straight across. The pitch log shows the fault, the reset, and the same fault again.

F10 · Evidence on the part (105, recurrence). The twelve yaw drives inside the yaw bearing carry their SCADA numbers, with the brake calipers between them; M3 is the one that tripped twice while turning.

F11 · External cause (110, storm). The front has passed; the met mast's anemometer and vane agree with T-06, and the sisters restart on their own schedule.

Scoring and pass rule

Each case: call 2 / 1 / 0, plus 1 for naming the pattern; the two pushback cases add 1. Maximum 14. Pass = 12 or more and no critical error. The handover note is scored 0–6 against its rubric and shown in the debrief; it does not change the pass.

Retry

"New shift" draws a new case from each pattern and a new order, so a retry tests whether the learner reads the evidence, not whether they remember the cases.
