Power Management System (PMS)
Keep power stable and avoid blackouts. ULSTEIN PMS controls your generators and switchboards from one screen, on newbuilds and retrofits.
Prevent blackouts with one view of every generator
Balancing generators and switchboards gets complex fast. A missed fault can cause a blackout, putting your crew, vessel, and operation at risk.
ULSTEIN PMS gives you control of all power generation from one interface. It runs on X-CONNECT®, the automation platform built by Blue Ctrl. It reports failures as they happen, helps prevent and recover from blackouts, and starts only the generators you need.
It works on small and large vessels, whatever their complexity. System segmentation lets you meet your class society’s requirements. Flexible topology and hardware keep installation space to a minimum.
Upgrading an ageing system? ULSTEIN PMS fits retrofit projects as well as newbuilds. Support for smart circuit breakers frees up switchboard space.
Selected features
- Blackout prevention, detection and recovery
Continuous monitoring and automatic control to keep the vessel operational in all conditions.
- Load sharing and load shedding
Distributes load across generators and sheds non-critical consumers when needed to prevent blackout.
- Energy Management System
Introduces Energy Storage Systems (ESS) to the PMS introducing even more possibilities for efficient operations.
- Heavy consumer start request
Coordinates high-demand equipment startups to prevent overload.
- Load dependent start/stop
Automatic start/stop of power producers based on actual power demand, to increase operational efficiency and reduce unnecessary running hours.
- Power redundancy
Defines the minimum number of generators per switchboard segment required online for safe operation in any mode.
- Mode selection
Operators switch between predefined operating modes directly from the interface, adapting the power setup to current operations.
- Skew load monitoring
Detects and alerts on uneven load distribution across power producers.
- Manual start/stop and generator priority
Full manual override and priority configuration available at all times.
Operator screens for power management
- EMS GUI - Grid support unit
