Seminar topics
Power Quality on board ships and yachts
Good Power Quality (PQ) is essential for safety, efficiency, and prevention of malfunctions on board. During this module, we will be covering:
- What is Power Quality and why is it crucial on board?
- How can I save fuel?
- Common PQ problems: harmonics, voltage dips, imbalance, flicker, and transients
- Causes in maritime environments, such as non-linear loads and large dynamic usage
- Relevant standards and guidelines: including IEC 61000 and classification society requirements
- Effective solutions such as filters, voltage stabilizers, capacitor banks, and smart monitoring
New developments in energy management
We will be guiding you through the latest innovations in energy management:
- Hybrid systems – electric propulsion and shaft generators
- DC networks: DC converters, EMI frequencies, and battery systems
Service, maintenance, and the importance of monitoring
Proper maintenance and continuous monitoring form the foundation for reliable energy supply at sea:
- Annual inspections of electrical installations
- Testing of insulation, PQ verification, battery systems, and harmonic filters
- Importance of monitoring for insight into electrical installations, fault detection, fast analysis, and reporting for certification bodies
Cases: PQ, Flicker & DC Systems
Based on real-world case studies, we will be explaining recognizable problems and solutions:
- Flickering caused by lighting, dimmer/LED combinations, and EMI environmental interference
- DC systems, shaft generators, and the consequences of false alarms
Why participate?
- Gain in-depth insights into PQ (Power Quality) issues specific to the maritime sector
- Learn from concrete real-world examples and technical solutions
- Connect with other maritime professionals and share knowledge
- Be prepared for the future of onboard energy
