Application of Balloon Tips in Operating State Visualization of Power Plants

摘要

With the development of electric power industry, operating states in power plants become more complex and the data need to be displayed increase sharply. The original ways of data display canpsilat meet the practical needs. This paper analyses disadvantages of display and manipulate mode in operating state visualization. Based on balloon tips in windows operating system, the paper proposes to use balloon tips in DCS (Distributed Control system) visualization in power plants. The contents needed to be displayed in DCS are divided into data point, specific equipment and alarm point. Corresponding display mode is designed for the three objects. Electronic regulations are integrated as a functional module in balloon tips. The practical results show the proposed visualization technique is quick and flexible to operate. Moreover, it displays more information on the limited screen, reduces redundant window manipulation, and improves the human-computer interface of DCS and work efficiency.
