Ship power management system

Ship power management system

Description

  • Two auxiliary generators and one shaft generator deliver electricity for systems of the ship. Generators are controlled by GeCon controllers in MINT (Master) configurations.
  • Power Management System (PMS) can work in three basic operational modes:
    • MANUAL – complete manual control
    • SEMI-AUTO – synchronizing and load-sharing is automatic; genset start/stop and load transfer between aux and shaft generators in manual
    • AUTO – complete automatic control
  • PMS continuously evaluates load reserve on the bus and blocks start of the bow thruster if the load reserve is insufficient.
  • PMS automatically trips the non-essential consumers, if the power system is overloaded.
  • PMS can control up to 10 independent circuits of non-essential consumers.
  • Freely programmable built-in PLC functions are used to accomplish load transfer between shaft and auxiliary generators.
