A COSS human-machine interface (HMI) was developed at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) in collaboration with an advanced prognostics engine called PRO-AID, developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Over time, additional opportunities led to the development of a more extensive library of tools, including support for microworld simulation.Ī Computerized Operator Support System (COSS) is an operator assistive technology suite that aids operators in monitoring processes to detect off-normal conditions, diagnose plant faults, predict future plant states, recommend mitigation alternatives, and select appropriate mitigative actions. These software tools for modernizing control room interfaces were also used to develop the novel Computerized Operator Support System (COSS) interface, which allows advanced prognostics and visualization. ANIME, which is based on Microsoft Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) libraries, allowed rapid application development that could be evaluated using operator-in-the-loop studies in the HSSL. ANIME was found to be an effective tool to test design concepts prior to formal system specification and deployment.
Originally, ANIME consisted of software code developed to facilitate formative design of replacement control systems for legacy control rooms at nuclear power plants. ANIME was developed over the course of four years to support prototyping of distributed control system (DCS) interfaces for the Human System Simulation Laboratory (HSSL), a full-scale control room simulator at Idaho National Laboratory. In this paper, we review the development of the Advanced Nuclear Interface Modeling Environment (ANIME).
