Abstract

Dealing with issues related to safety of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) is of high importance and priority for assuring nonstop energy production. To enhance safety, modernization and upgrade of the aging installations by incorporating automation processes is unavoidable for many reasons, among them, environmental protection and lifetime extension of currently operating NPP. In that context, Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications are a subject of thorough study. The aim of this work is to develop a mechanism to evaluate the efficiency of HMI in nuclear power plant safety. To that end, HMI applications are addressed as a single joint system and they are not seen separately as a human and machine part. The proposed evaluator was implemented by utilizing Fuzzy Logic and holistic approaches. The implementation and all the experiments were conducted in Matlab by using the fuzzy toolbox.
