On-Line Root Cause Analysis For Nuclear Power Plant Control Rooms
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a new technology for analyzing alarm cascades in nuclear power plant control rooms in real-time, thereby making operation safer and more productive. The technology is based on multilevel flow models and a root cause analysis algorithm developed at Lund University and GoalArt. It enables the solution of the alarm cascade problem for full-scale nuclear power plants. In the next few years, we hope to introduce this technology as a technically mature functionality in control rooms for complex systems.

متن کاملReal-Time Root Cause Analysis with Multilevel Flow Models
A fault in a complex technical system usually leads to a large number of consequential faults. In a modern control room, most variables are measured and monitored by alarms. Therefore, a non-trivial fault usually leads to a large amount of triggered alarms, a so-called alarm cascade. Alarm cascades cause information overload and renders the alarm system useless during incidents. GoalArt has dev...
