Enhancing fossil power plant design, operation, and maintenance: human factor guidelines. Volume 2. Process and design guidelines. Final report
These process and design guidelines, tailored to the needs of the fossil fuel power industry, integrate human factors engineering into all aspects of plant design. Implementation in new or retrofit projects should significantly improve operation, maintenance, and availability in fossil fuel plants. Volume 2 (Process and Design Guidelines) adds design guidelines to the process guidelines, which appear also in Volume 1. The design guidelines are directed to implementation groups at utilities, architect/engineering firms, and equipment manufacturers. They concern the specification, selection, design, and construction of plant facilities, systems, subsystems, and equipment. Both process and design guidelines recommend approaches, values, and techniques to use in integrating human factors into fossil fuel power plant designs. This information is intended to help users increase plant availability through more operable, maintainable, and safe designs. Economic or other factors may prevent users from following some of these recommendations on specific projects. Nevertheless, the systematic application of even a portion of the guidelines will improve safety, operability, and maintainability at the resulting plant. The more completely and systematically the guidelines are applied to a design-whether new construction or retrofit-the better the result for operators and maintenance workers.
