Power Management System (PMS) is applicable for all ships from the simplest vessel to the most advanced and complex installations. Power Management System performs all necessary functions required to handle the power generation and main distribution onboard all types of vessels and configurations.
- Load dependent start/stop – handles the start/stop of the engine in situations when this is required by the power demand.
- Pre-warning – a function which automatically starts the next available generator if any engine conditions which will lead to a shutdown of the engine is getting critically near the shutdown limit
- Shut down function – when an engine shutdown is detected, the PMS will immediately disconnect affected generator and start the next one in the pre-defined sequence.
- Load reduction – each thruster drive receives an available power signal from the PMS, which prevents the generators from overloading, reducing the risk for a total blackout in case a generator trips.
- Heavy Consumers – Controlling start of heavy consumers by looking at connected and available power on the switchboard. Starting new engine / connecting new generator if needed. (engine/generator)
- Blackout Reconnection – handles both partial and total blackouts, reconnecting important breakers after blackout
- Switchboard configuration – configuration of tie breakers/swb breakers depending on operational mode.
