4. ROPES Similar to a flight simulator, ROPES mimics the actual control interface for reservoir operation and exposes the trainee to different conditions, in which he must make decisions regarding the operation of the reservoir. Reservoir operators usually operate the reservoir using a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system that exposes the variables and controls necessary for supervision and operation of the system in a schematic interface (examples are shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3 and Fig. 4).
