Features

When the ship propulsion system is powered by battery or other alternative power sources, an Energy Management System is required. X-CONNECT® provides an integrated Energy Management System or remote control of 3rd party EMS. Read more about ULSTEIN EMS here.

ULSTEIN PMS provides load sharing between diesel generators based on compensated droop philosophy.

Tripping consumers with low priority to avoid blackout.

Prepares generator to manage equipment with heavy loads before they are actually activated, to prevent blackouts. Example of such consumers are bow thrusters, fire fighting pumps etc.

Status information from all components in the system, such as circuit breakers, bus-ties and generators. The system also features pre-warning handling, such as start/stop errors and breaker status.

Monitoring of active and reactive load.

Preventing operator to create an unintended blackout. System detects partial and total blackout, and automatically recovers power generation.

User can force the system to set a desired limited number of generators to be connected to the power grid.

Manually start/stop generators.

Start sequences according to user input.

Load dependent start/stop order in accordance with load conditions and user input.

Automatic transitions between power plant configurations for different vessel operations
