Power Management System (PMS)
Høglund Power Management System performs all necessary functions required to handle the power generation and main distribution onboard all types of vessels and configurations.
Other functionalities included are:
Other functionalities included are:
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.
