Abstract

Abstract A good human-computer interface can improve the efficiency of operators in the main control room of a nuclear power plant (NPP) and reduce operational errors. It has been shown that ecological interface design (EID) can effectively reduce the cognitive load of users, improve the level of situation awareness, and help users to make decisions quickly and effectively. In this paper, we analyzed the feedwater deaeration system (ADG) of nuclear power plants, constructed the work domain analysis according to the abstraction hierarchy theory. The factors that affect the balance of the system are clarified, and the ecological interface is designed based on it, so that it can present the system status and present the future development trend more intuitively, and support the operator to predict the system situation. In this study, 10 volunteers with relevant knowledge background were selected for operational experiments, with subjective evaluation based on SART scale and grey theory, which verified that EID interface has significant advantages over the original interface in supporting both operator response time and accuracy.
