Abstract

This article investigates methods for increasing the fault tolerance of a computer intelligent support system for a nuclear power plant operator. The purpose of this study is to increase the fault tolerance of intelligent support systems for the operator when receiving information about the state of technological parameters important for the power plant control procedures. The object of the study is the ways of receiving input data by a computer intelligent support system for a nuclear power plant operator. The subject of the study is a model of the ways of receiving input information to a computer intelligent support system for a nuclear power plant operator. The problem of ensuring the reliability of input information and methods for solving it, which are based on the redundancy and multi-version of the components used, is considered. A simulation model of the input data paths of a computer intelligent support system for a nuclear power plant operator has been developed, which differs from the known ones by taking into account the indicators of multi-version of components.
