OPC plugin for Picasso
OPC is an established industry standard for automation and process control applications on the Microsoft Windows platform. During the first half of 2005 we have added features to Picasso to better support accessing data from OPC servers. Below is a brief description of the new functionality and a simple way to download a beta version with the new features available.
Picasso changes name to ProcSee
From October 2005, IFE’s software tool for developing and displaying dynamic graphical user interfaces changes name from Picasso to ProcSee.
ProcSee on mobile devices
IFE has demonstrated that ProcSee operator interfaces can be visualized on small mobile devices.
Implementation of large-screen display for Loviisa NPP
IFE is currently engaged by Fortum Nuclear Services to implement a large-screen display for Loviisa nuclear power plant in Finland. IFE's process visualisation tool, ProcSee, will be used to implement the display, which will be installed at Fortum's R&D simulator in Espoo for evaluation. Provided a successful evaluation, the display may be installed in Loviisa training simulator and control room.
Java plug-in for ProcSee
At the upcoming EHPG-meeting in Loen, Norway, researcher Hans Olav Randem of the ProcSee development team will present a paper describing an on-going activity to implement a Java plug-in to the ProcSee Run-Time Manager.
3D Nuclear Core Data Viewer
At the EHPG-meeting 2008 in Loen, Norway, IFE demonstrated the first version of the Core Data Viewer. The application provides the user with a fully rotatable, semi-transparent, three-dimensional view of reactor core data, and enables the user to focus on interesting spots by filtering out parts of the core based on position and/or value. Various core data, like power density, Xenon distribution and burn-up distribution may be visualised. By selecting a specific fuel assembly, the user can study the individual fuel rods of the assembly in another 3D view.
The ChNPP Planner translated into Russian
In week 44, the VISIT department had a visit of two software specialists from Chernobyl NPP (ChNPP) in Ukraine, who helped us translating the ChNPP Planner into Russian.
Emergency Process Information System for Loviisa NPP
During January-June 2010, IFE designed, implemented and installed an emergency process information system at the two units of Loviisa nuclear power plant in Finland. The system is based on IFE’s software package for human-system-interfaces, ProcSee, and will be used in case of an emergency situation at the plant to enable remote monitoring of key process parameter values at the Finnish radiation authorities and at Fortum’s emergency monitoring centre. The system has passed Fortum’s and STUK’s acceptance testing and was put in operation in early August 2010.
