VESSEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Our Vessel Management Systems use standard PLCs, I/O modules, and HMI touchscreens. The hardware is fully redundant, including processors, communication links, and power supplies. The Vessel Management Systems are developed to meet specific application, customer, and regulatory requirements. These systems are designed to be operated from the bridge with HMI touchscreens that are simple and intuitive to use. Typical automation functions include:

• Alarm system and management
• Power management systems
• Cargo handling, including tank level monitoring & control
• Ballast control
• Machinery and auxiliary alarm and management
• Alarm, data, and event logging

SWITCHGEAR & SWITCHBOARDS

Our high-power switchgear and switchboards are built to customer specifications and application requirements. The switchboards are fabricated to meet the requirements of the environment, marine classification societies, and a variety of electrical standards (e.g. IEC, CSA, ANSI, IEEE). The switchboards are available with the following ratings.

• Voltages up to 13.8kV
• Current ratings up to 8,000A
• Fault current ratings up to 100kA.
• Supply frequencies of 50Hz and 60Hz

GENERATOR CONTROLS

Current Power Solutions manufactures generator controls for all of the major engine and generator manufacturers. Typical controls include those required for synchronizing parallel generators, load sharing, and power management.

ENGINEERING STUDIES

Engineering studies include short circuit analysis, load flow studies, protective device coordination, bus bracing, and harmonic analysis.
