Information operator support systems of nuclear power plants and a flexible modeling complex

Abstract

In the paper, there are considered functional abilities of information operator support systems (IOSS) of power units of nuclear power plants (NPP) and their place within the an unit-level system of automated process control systems (APCS) of NPP. The purpose of implementation of NPP IOSS is preventing or decreasing the frequency and heaviness of human-operator errors appearing during transients and non-regular situations, when human-operators perform under the conditions of the time deficit, fast changes of the current plant status, and huge volumes of information, conditioning thus the excessively high work load. Within the frameworks of the NPP IOSS, issues of creating flexible modeling complexes are considered, enabling one to turn the system to an NPP power unit of a given type.
