Advanced Power Systems (AC)

The collection of technologies under the “Advanced Power Systems” umbrella all play together to allow for operating in compliance with the strictest DP requirements, like DNV DYNPOS AUTRO and DYNPOS ER and ABS DP2(3) EHS. 

A next generation collection of technologies that enable more cost efficient and flexible operations for vessels with DP2 and DP3 positioning systems, including

  • Power Generation, Distribution & Consumers
  • Power and Energy Management System
  • Energy Storage Solution


Lower OPEX

Closed ring allows optimizing the load on the engines, reducing running hours, lowering fuel costs as well as maintenance needs


Safer and more reliable

Safe and easy to use, the well proven power system is thoroughly analyzed and tested, with built-in self-diagnostics and option for remote assistance

Very high vessel availability

Highly redundant system with autonomous subsystem design, keeps the vessel operating safely even in case of a subsystem fault

Technology

The collection of technologies under the “Advanced Power Systems” umbrella all play together to allow for operating in compliance with the strictest DP requirements, like DNV DYNPOS AUTRO and DYNPOS ER and ABS DP2(3) EHS.Summed up, the Advanced Power Systems are built on a diesel generator monitoring system (DGMS), a fast restart after blackout (FRAB) package and the use of IEC 61850 standards for communication and design, allowing for smart power distribution systems, independent of the onboard automation system.
