  puesto de manifiesto la importancia de desarrollar herramientas de
  capacitación innovadoras y eficientes en el uso de recursos. Este

  abordar la demanda de métodos complementarios de formación. La
  metodología incluyó la selección e integración de componentes

  del proyecto se extendió a la aplicación práctica del simulador en una
  sesión decapacitación, lo que demostró su efectividad en mejorar la
  comprensión del personal sobre los sistemas de cargas eléctricas. Los
