Abstract

The specification of supervision and control tasks in complex processes requires definition of plant states on various levels of abstraction related to plant operation in start-up, normal operation and shut-down. The identification of the plant operation mode helps operators to monitor and control complex systems, such as a nuclear power plant (NPP), through information of the state of the plant. The operators can use this information to define which procedure to use at any time during the plant operation.
