Automatic Control System (Power Management System) of Electrical Power Plants

Automatic Control System for Ships Electrical Power Plants. The automatic control system is designed for controlling turbo- and diesel-driven electric generating plant, predominently onboard ships.

The purpose of the automatic control equipment is to ensure that the power demand of a ship is generated in an economical manner and also to ensure that any faults occurring will not cause damage to the machinery.

During fully automatic operation the equipment carries out starting, synchronizing and load sharing on one or several diesel alternators as the power demand increases, as well as disconnecting and stopping the diesel alternator in the event of excessive power being available.
