In a thermal power plant the operators' roles are to control and monitor the process to achieve efficient and safe production. To achieve this, the human-machine interfaces have a central part. The interfaces need to be updated and upgraded together with the technical functionality to maintain optimal operation. One way of achieving relevant updates is to study other domains and see how they have solved similar issues in their design solutions. The purpose of this paper is to present how interface design solution ideas can be transferred from domains with operator control to thermal power plants. In the study 15 domains were compared using a model for categorisation of human-machine systems. The result from the domain comparison showed that nuclear power, refinery and ship engine control were most similar to thermal power control. From the findings a basic interface structure and three specific display solutions were proposed for thermal power control: process parameter overview, plant overview, and feed water view. The systematic comparison of the properties of a human-machine system allowed interface designers to find suitable objects, structures and navigation logics in a range of domains that could be transferred to the thermal power domain.
在火力发电厂中，操作员的职责是控制和监控生产过程，以实现高效、安全生产。为此，人机界面起着核心作用。界面需要与技术功能同步更新和升级，以维持最佳运行状态。实现相关更新的一种方法是研究其他领域，了解它们在设计解决方案中是如何解决类似问题的。本文的目的是展示如何将界面设计解决方案的思路从操作员控制领域转移到火力发电厂。在该研究中，使用人机系统分类模型对15个领域进行了比较。领域比较结果表明，核电、炼油和船舶发动机控制与火力发电控制最为相似。基于这些发现，为火力发电控制提出了一种基本界面结构和三种特定的显示解决方案：过程参数概述、电厂概述和给水视图。对人机系统特性进行系统比较，使界面设计师能够在一系列领域中找到合适的对象、结构和导航逻辑，并将其转移到火力发电领域。
