Powerallocatortm

Powerallocatortm by Kongsberg Maritime AS is a power-allocation function within a vessel energy-management architecture. It operates at automation level, using information from generators, switchboards and major consumers to coordinate available electrical power with vessel demand. Depending on the project, it may interact with generator start/stop logic, load sharing, load limitation, load shedding and propulsion or thruster demand. The system is normally presented to operators through the vessel automation or power-management workstations rather than as a standalone machinery item. Its exact functions and priorities are vessel-specific and must be confirmed from the approved power-management functional description. Compared with the physical switchgear and protection entries, this product acts primarily through supervisory control and allocation logic.
