2.2.1 PMA300
The most important task of the power management system PMA300 is to supply sufficient electrical
energy during all of the operation modes of the ship.
However, with an increasing need of power on ships the economical power generation is considered
almost as important as the freedom from interruption.
The power management system PMA300 maintains the disposition of electrical energy automatically
during the different operation modes.
In case of malfunctions on any main components in the ships power plant, all necessary actions are
taken in order to ensure all consumers electrical energy without interruption, if possible, and to avoid
damage at the same time.
SIMATIC S7 standard components are used, which are complemented by a generator protection and
measuring transducer. Main PCU(s) are supplied via a 24V DC/DC isolating converter, for limitation of
earth-fault problems and damages.
The standard Generator protection interface to the PMA300 is the SIPROTEC 7UM62 Generator Pro-
tective Relay. This is not part of the PMA300 delivery, and must be integrated in the switchboard de-
livery.
Generator protection unit/measuring transducer and SIMATIC S7 form an independent system. In this
way it is secured that a fault in the SIMATIC S7 will not affect the generator protection system and the
ability of manual operation.
If a redundant power supply is also required for the SIMATIC S7 (having all the PMA300 functions
available also in case of battery trouble) an additional power supply unit has to be provided by the
switchboard manufacturer. (E.g. a power supply unit fed by the main bus bar).
The PMA300 requires an additional independent diesel protection system (overspeed, lubrication oil
pressure etc.). The PMA300 has only secondary diesel protection functions (trip of generator breaker
in case of shutdown alarm from the diesel protection system).
PMA300 is designed for an external load sharing system. Usually the engine is delivered with a com-
bined speed controller and load sharing module. For best possible load sharing this will be used.
Automatic loadsharing from the PMA300 with engines in droop mode is however also available.
A design principle for the PMA 300 is simplicity, which means that the focus is solely the Main Power
plant. Control and monitoring of Sub distributions etc are considered to be an IAS task.
The PMA 300 can also be an integrated part of Siemens Special Diesel Electric Propulsion System;
which behavior and protection features are performed individually and as total by the following sys-
tems:
• Propeller controllers (Bluedrive Frequency Propulsion Drives)
• GPA (Siemens Generator Power Adaption system, integrated system in switchboard)
• P (Siemens Power Plant Protection System, integrated in SIPROTEC 7UM62 Generator Pro-
3
tective Relay)
• PMA 300 Power Managment System
The starting of a generator sets will of clear physical reasons take much more time than the response
time of the GPA and P3, so by the help of the GPA and P3 the PMS can immediately as the fault situa-
tion is detected initialise the starting sequence of the stand-by generator without the risk of blackout of
unselective trip within the necessary time frame of starting procedure. If the vessel has large consum-
ers further than converter driven propellers PMS can also perform load shedding.
The Siemens DEP system behavior is performed by the above mentioned four interacting systems.
These are divided by philosophy of redundancy and process determined need for individual calculat-
ing/cycle speed. They are designed to interact and will perform as one unified system with an unified
philosophy specially developed for DEP systems
NOTE!
The document “PMA 300 V5.0 Remote Human Machine Interface Description” gives detailed informa-
tion about the Profibus DP protocol used for the PMA 300. IAS vendors can chose to use only a mini-
mum of the monitoring and control functions available on the Profibus DP. This will compromise the
monitoring and control of the Power Management System in case of a PMA 300 Touch Screen failure.
In such case it’s recommended to order a second PMA 300 Touch screen to ensure full redundancy.
This configuration is redundant in such way that a fault in one controller, port or starboard, can be iso-
lated by opening the bus-tie breaker. With open bus-tie breaker each bus bar section will operate indi-
vidually. This configuration will satisfy the requirements for dynamic positioning vessels class DP III,
and also diesel electric redundant propulsion systems.
Any fault in the power management system will not interfere with the manual operation or loadsharing.
Example overview of a standard PMA 300, Load sharing units also illustrated:
2.3.2.1 Start of a standby set in case of blackout, bus-bar or generator high power, over cur-
rent, under frequency and under voltage.
Automatic start can be initiated from the blackout detection, a power request from another set, a
power request from the bus-bar segment, a delayed shutdown alarm from the alarm system, under
voltage 2 or under frequency 2 alarm, generator current or a heavy consumer start request.
2.3.2.3 Selection of the starting and stopping sequence of the standby generator sets
The starting time and the stopping time have to be adjusted according to the requirements of the die-
sel engine.
2.3.2.5 Selecting a minimum number of sets to be connected to the bus-bar after blackout
This function is available for each common Busbar (connected Busbars is one common Busbar)
2.3.2.7 Load sharing of active power (in case of failure of an engine internally load sharing
system)
The PMA 300’s load sharing supervision use accumulated data for all connected generator sets to
evaluate the quality of the load sharing units and voltage regulators. If configured, the PMA 300 can
take over the Load Sharing using droop mode and adjusting speed up/down. Speed adjusting in droop
mode from the PMA 300 is performed by potential free relay contacts for speed up/down.
From each heavy consumer the PMA300 require a “Request for Start” signal from the starter system.
This signal must be a steady signal (closed contact for request) as long as a start is requested. When
start is allowed the PMA 300 gives a “Start Allowed” signal (potential free relay contact). When the
consumer has started a “Running” is needed as feedback.
2.3.2.11 Monitoring and disconnection of generator with faulty generator voltage regulator to
protect the ship electrical system against abnormal voltages.
This is performed by the SIPROTEC Protective Relay and is not a part of the PMA 300.
2.3.2.12 Interface with an externally supplied system like Woodward speed controller with load
sharing system (by use of integrated load sharing lines)
Usually the engine is delivered with a combined speed controller and load sharing module. For best
possible load sharing, this system is recommended to use.
2.3.2.13 Regulating the bus bar frequency (constant frequency or with static)
This can be done by the PMA 300 in droop mode.

Installation cut-out
For installation in the front panel, the touch panel requires a mounting cut-out (WxH) of 366 +1 mm x
288 +1 mm. The thickness of the front panel must not exceed 6 mm.
The MP377 15” is self-ventilated and approved for vertical and inclined mounting in stationary cabi-
nets.
(Double Controller is explained in the chapter of standard delivery, Single- and Triple Controller are
explained further down this section)
The Standard interface to external IAS systems is one Profibus DP link from each controller. Other
possible interface’s are:
• Modbus
• Profibus FDL
• Ethernet
• Profinet
PMA300 is flexible and can be custom designed for a wide range of possible system functions and dif-
ferent alternative generator protection devices and measuring transducers (for instance GENOP71
generator protection, synchronizing unit and measuring transducer).
This standard system is configured with one Simatic S7-300 Central Processing units, ET200S remote
I/O units. A separate electronic speed controller /loadsharing system (not part of Siemens delivery)
works in both manual and automatic operation.
The installation is equipped with SIPROTEC Generator Protective Relay (not part of PMA 300 deliv-
ery) that also works as measuring transducer and data collector for the PMA300 system. PMA300 and
SIPROTEC are connected via a PROFIBUS connection.
A fault in the power management system controller will inhibit all automatic operation performed by
PMA300, but all protective functionality is still intact in the SIPROTEC units.
Any fault in the power management system will not interfere with the manual operation or loadsharing.
This configuration is seldom used on diesel electric installations.
This standard system is configured with three Simatic S7-300 Central Processing units, ET200S re-
mote I/O units. Internal communications between the controllers are done with Profinet communica-
tion.
The most common use for a triple controller configuration is for power plants with three Busbar’s in-
stalled (uneven number of Busbars. Thus less than 50% of the power management functionality is de-
pendent of one single controller.
A separate electronic speed controller /loadsharing system (not part of Siemens delivery) works in
both manual and automatic operation.
The installation is equipped with SIPROTEC Generator Protective Relay (not part of PMA 300 deliv-
ery) that also works as measuring transducer and data collector for the PMA300 system. PMA300 and
SIPROTEC are connected via a PROFIBUS connection.
This configuration is redundant in such way that a fault in one controller, port, center or starboard, can
be isolated by opening the nearest bus-tie breaker(s). With open bus-tie breakers each bus bar sec-
tion will operate individually. This configuration will satisfy the requirements for dynamic positioning
vessels class DP III, and also diesel electric redundant propulsion systems.
Any fault in the power management system will not interfere with the manual operation or loadsharing.
