The PMS is either an integrated part of the IAS system, where the SW modules is running
in the IAS controllers, and the I/O can be mixed in the IAS cabinets, or a dedicated PMS
system with cabinets in the MSB if desirable.
The PMS is divided in two separate modules where the main part is running in separate
controllers. Each controller is controlling the equipment connected to the actual
switchboard, and the PMS will act as two different systems when the tiebreaker is open.
This document will describe the functions and the system components for the Power
Management System (PMS). This document will cover the functions of the diesel engines,
generators, generator breakers, and transfer feeder breakers.
Note: Some of the VDU presentations in this document will vary between different operator
station installations, and must only be treated as examples, as the final displays will be
presented in the project specific Mimic overview.
2. Definitions
3.1 Governors
3.1.1 Isochronous
The installed governors have load sharing and speed control, and are configured to run in
isochronous mode. As soon as the generator is connected to the MSB, the governor will
increase the load of the generator, until it has reached the mean load at the network. No
control from PMS is required after the breaker is connected to the MSB.
3.1.2 Droop
The installed governors have load sharing and speed control, and are configured to run in
Droop mode. As soon as the generator is connected to the MSB, the PMS will increase
the load of the generator, until it has reached the mean load at the network. The load
sharing between the generators is then done by the governors the PMS will then adjust
the frequency on the network.
3.2 Synchronizers
The safety system is delivered from the engine manufacturer and will handle all safety
functions.
2 pcs of ABB AC800M Process controllers with Profibus I/O communication bus.
The controllers will handle all PMS functions, except from local start/stop and Shut Down,
which is handled by the CSS located in the engine room.
Where the ABB PMS is an integrated part of the vessels IAS, the PMS I/O signals are
connected to the system via the IAS I/O cabinets, as a regular signal. To which cabinet
and channel where each PMS signal is connected is normally defined by the yard, and
has no actual meaning to the PMS functions.
4.1 General
The engine can be started and stopped locally from the engine control panel, located by
the engine.
The Shut Down function is independent of the LOCAL/REMOTE switch.
4.3.1 General
When the LOCAL/REMOTE switch in the MSB is set to LOCAL, the local operation of the
DG from switches in the MSB is enabled if fitted. Engine must then be in remote.
4.3.2 Start/Stop
From the start/stop switches at the MSB, the operator can start and stop the engine when
running in LOCAL.
4.3.3 Synchronize
In Local Manuel mode, the increase/decrease switches will control the speed setting of
the engine, and manual synchronization will be possible.
The synchronizer in the switchboard will connect the breaker at the correct angle, when a
local connect order is given from the operator.
In Local Auto mode, the MSB will automatic synchronize from the synchronizer.
5. PMS Operation
5.2.1 General
The tiebreaker control can be performed manually from the VDU, or locally from the MSB.
When tiebreaker is open, the system will go into SPLIT-mode.
The difference in operation from the operator’s point of view will be different start order
selectors for bus closed and for bus open. When the bus opens, the PMS actually will
handle the two buses as two individual systems, and the operator will also operate the
systems individually from two different start order selectors, as well as two different
MINIMUM NUMBER selectors. Each of those operator changeable digits will change color
when the tiebreaker changes status, in order to indicate for the operation, which one is
valid for the actual mode.
The actual number of generators to be connected is controlled from the following two
criteria:
The power consumption will calculate a minimum number of generators required in order
to keep the load at each DG within the limits set in the system. These two limits are
POWER_START_LIM, and POWER_STOP_LIM.
The actual number of generators connected to the MSB by the PMS will be the highest
value of the two above mentioned criteria.
To improve the fuel economy, it is possible to limit the numbers of generators connected
in order to prevent a load dependent start of the next generator. This makes it possible to
run the connected generators with a high and fuel-efficient load. The maximum number is
entered on the VDU.
Four different colors are used to indicate the different conditions of the
DG.
Green - The DG is in AUTO available.
Red -The DG is in alarm condition and not available
White -The DG is in LOCAL (Engine / MSB)
Grey -The DG is not available.
This figure shows the POWER indication, where the right bar indicates the
used power, and the left bar indicates the available power.
If the system normally is operated in open bustie mode, a set of bars for each
MSB side will be presented.
The auto start function handles the start of the engine in situations when this is required
by the power demand, minimum selection or manual start from the VDU.
All these start functions will activate the start program, if all start requirements are fulfilled.
This function controls the described variable MIN_NO_POW. This variable is increased
and decreased based on the following system values.
An external synchronizer located in the MSB handles the synchronizing in this system.
The synchronizer is activated with a relay contact from the PMS, when the generator
frequency has reached the nominal frequency.
The sync. signal is activated until the breaker is closed, or until the predefined sync. alarm
time has elapsed.
In case of a sync. alarm, the sync. signal will be reset, and the PMS will start the next
generator in the start order.
8. Protection
8.1 General
Each generator set in the power system has a number of possible protection functions
which main task is either to protect the unit from a more serious fault or protect the power
system from entering a blackout situation.
8.2 Functions
The following protection functions are available in the ABB power management system:
Start block
Shut down
Pre-warning
Node failure
Start failure
Synchronize failure
Breaker trip
Disconnect failure
Over-speed
Low Lube Oil Press
HI Cooling Water temp (May be defined as a "reduce load alarm")
When a shutdown is detected, the stop solenoid will be energized, and a SD signal is sent
to the PMS, which will immediately disconnect the breaker, and start the next generator in
the sequence.
The pre warning alarm is a function which automatically starts the next available generator
if any of the engine conditions which will lead to a shutdown of the engine is getting critical
near the shut down limit.
The function will try to avoid the critical situation, which can occur if a connected generator
suddenly trips out.
When the system detects one of these conditions, and the generator is connected, it will
initiate a standby start of the next available DG.
When the new generator is synchronized and connected to the MSB, the actual generator
will be unloaded, disconnected and stopped.
The actual generator will be forced to MANUAL mode as soon as it is disconnected.
The DG will not be available for start until the alarm has been reset from the VDU, and
manually set back to AUTO.
Each generator object has a number of calculated alarms. The alarm functions are
explained in detail in this chapter.
All alarms needs to be reset by the operator, and some of the alarms will not disappear
until the condition is reset.

8.4.1 General
The definition of which consumers that is most important can vary from the actual
operation mode. The PMS load control will use different priority for each consumer
defined by the modes in the system.
The actual mode setting will control the max load limit to be allowed from the drives to
load the generators with.
9. Failure Handling
9.1 General
All PMS functions are controlled from the two nodes, Node1 and Node2. The components
on the port side of the vessel are controlled from Node1 and the STBD side is controlled
from Node 2.
Normally the one side of the MSB is capable of keeping the vessel in operation, in case of
a failure at the opposite side.
As the load shearing method is arranged with isochronous control by each engine
governor, no active control is needed from the PMS when the generator is running on line.
Based upon this important fact and the fact that ALL control outputs from PMS is normally
de energized outputs, no failure on any PMS component will cause any generator to trip
or stop.
In addition to this, all components may be controlled locally by the operator, which
enables the complete power plant to be operated without any PMS control at all.
Even with a total power loss for the complete system (Power down of both IAS Nodes),
the power generation will keep running with without any change in the power plant
configuration and capacity.
Different failures may only lead to a loss in the ability to change the generator
configuration from the PMS, and the operator must in most cases control the plant from
local control in the ER and from the MSB.
As there normally are at least two operator stations available in the IAS/PMS, the
operation may at any time be performed from either of the operator stations in the system.
As no control functions are performed by any operator station, no failure of any operator
station will influence the power plant control.
The node failure function will be activated when one PMS node has lost contact with
another PMS node. This is achieved by watchdog functions implemented in both PMS
nodes.
The PMS functions in the faulty PMS node will be lost. The generators will continue to run
with the actual load, and the CSS will still perform necessary engine surveillance of the
engine.
To indicate that a vital component of the PMS has failed to communicate, this will cause
all symbols at the operator station connected to the faulty controller to disappear. All
pictures at the operator station where the symbol normally is presented, a black field with
the shape of the symbol will be indicated.
As the control network in the system is dual network divided in two totally independent
networks, no failure at one of these networks will cause any operational effects.
The Profibus network is normally the communication link between the controller and the
I/O stations.
This bus is designed to be redundant, but in any cases there are ways that the controller
might lose communication with all the I/O stations at the actual side.
In this case the effect would be that all components controlled from the actual controller
will be alarmed, and the component itself will be treated as not available in the PMS.
As all information on the components at the faulty side is missing, the system will, if
necessary connect available generators at the healthy side.
No loss in power capacity will be the result of this type of failure.
As the different PMS signals may be connected to the controller from different I/O
cabinets, the PMS function may be affected of a failure of one I/O station.
As the definition of the availability of an engine, generator or breaker is based upon a
combination of physical input signals and a calculated healthy status based upon
expected feedback based upon commands, any type of I/O failure will be detected in the
So the works case will be that half of the PMS components (DG) are connected to this I/O
cabinet, and the PMS will lose control of this units, with the result that the opposite
components will be used.
