PHOENIX Gen is a generator to grid synchronization training simulator.
It is a browser-based training simulator for learning how a generator is safely matched and connected to the power grid.

PHOENIX Gen is built around the real training problem:
- matching generator voltage to the grid
- matching generator frequency to the grid
- watching phase drift and synchroscope timing
- closing the breaker at the right moment
- understanding what happens when the close is unsafe
- recovering from fault drills and reviewing the event afterward
It is meant to make synchronization, breaker timing, fault response, and machine behavior easier to understand in a direct browser-based simulator.
v10 keeps the core sync simulator from v9.5 and adds a stronger training layer around it.
- stress meter
- progression and unlocks
- playbook / briefing
- instructor shell
- expanded timing presets
- rotor visual tab
- mechanical rotor / stator training view
- magnetic field / sync training view
- stronger replay and review flow
The rotor tab now teaches two different things on purpose:
- Mechanical view → shaft, bearings, coupling, vibration, stability, lock quality
- Magnetic view → rotor field, stator pickup, slip, phase error, field coupling
That split helps separate mechanical stress from electrical stress instead of blending them together.
- Press SIM START
- Press GRID START
- Wait for the grid to become healthy
- Press GEN START
- Use AUTO MATCH or trim manually
- Watch the synchroscope and sync indicators
- Close the breaker only when the simulator shows a safe sync condition
- Review the debrief or trip summary
