Continuous power is
fundamental to your business
PRISMIC® PMS is fundamental
to your performance
The pressure of maintaining the high
integrity power system that your business
depends on has just been lifted.
The BRUSH PRISMIC ® Power Management
System is an extremely powerful and flexible
electrical power system controller. More than
that, it’s your guardian against outages and
the ensuing disruption and cost.
With a reputation for delivering a reliable
and stable power supply whatever the
industry or application, PRISMIC ® PMS
sets the benchmark. That’s why it’s already
the most widely used PMS in the oil and gas
industry in many parts of the world and is
becoming widely used across power and
utilities sites, data centres, LNG terminals
and military facilities.
PRISMIC ® PMS is designed and
produced by BRUSH, the world’s leading
independent manufacturer of generators
and associated equipment. We were one of
the first companies to use advanced digital
technology and we continue to provide
innovative solutions to meet the most
demanding specifications.
We’ve been refining the design and
functionality for over thirty years, using
our experience and expertise, coupled
with technological advancements, to
add and improve features.
Our market leading PRISMIC ® PMS
has none of the limitations of generic
PLC and off the shelf equipment modules.
It can be used with any equipment from
other OEMs, multiple types of generators
or prime movers and all other associated
power system equipment.
PRISMIC ® PMS is easy to use too.
Operators interact with a fully featured
Windows Human Machine Interface (HMI)
by using basic PC skills to navigate through
the comprehensive and simple to use
displays and settings.
Your operators can quickly become familiar
with the more challenging aspects of
generation system control using the BRUSH
power system simulation and utilising real
generators at the BRUSH PRISMIC ®
training facility.
Each bespoke PRISMIC ® PMS is tailored to
specific site requirements and power system
topology, with all design data meticulously
controlled and recorded. The systems
are fully designed and tested by electrical
engineers who use real time simulations to
fully demonstrate many scenarios which
can’t be easily tested on site. By adopting
these methods commissioning time is cut
considerably and down time is minimised.
A fundamental function of PRISMIC ® PMS
is to proactively prevent blackouts and
enable the uninterrupted performance
of critical processes and operations. By
preventing disturbances, the PRISMIC ®
PMS maximises operational up time and
minimises the costs associated with lost
production so that it pays for itself in no
time at all.

diverse industries
unusual locations
uNRIVALLED service
Many diverse industries depend upon
PRISMIC® PMS
PRISMIC® PMS has been developed
to answer the many and varied demands
of vastly differing industries and often
harsh environments. BRUSH is highly
experienced in providing the exact
functionality and support required by
each individual application.
Oil and Gas
Oil and Gas installations that are either
offshore or in remote locations demand a
substantial and self-contained electrical
power system. PRISMIC® PMS offers fast
acting load shedding to prevent cascade
failure if the generating plant were to go down
unexpectedly. Automatic start/stop facilities,
triggered by changes in demand, means that
power generation is constantly matched to
production demand. This allows operators
to focus on other important tasks without the
worry of controlling the power generation.
Where an installation is connected to a
grid or another power source, such as
interconnected platforms, PRISMIC®
PMS can accurately control power flows
to meet import or export agreements
and requirements.
Marine
A number of vessels operate on the ‘Electric
Ship Principle’, whereby the propulsion
and service load are supplied by a common
electrical power supply, which improves
flexibility and manoeuvrability.
As load profiles can be erratic, PRISMIC®
PMS can be tailored to provide specialist
control features for marine environments,
such as electrical propulsion, thruster
control, synchronous compensation and
interface to dynamic positioning computers.
IMPROVING SECURITY
OF POWER GENERATION
NO MATTER WHAT
THE INDUSTRY
Industrial
Industrial sites can range from banks to
airports, hospitals, military bases, waste
incineration plants, all with vital and varying
power generating plant requirements. In
many cases standby power is needed in
case of grid/utility power network failure.
The system can be semi or fully automatic
to keep manual intervention to a minimum.
Sites such as manufacturing plants or
water utilities often generate electricity as
a by-product, which can be used to operate
the plant and any surplus can be exported.
PRISMIC® PMS controls the power flow
to or from the site so that operating
conditions are always optimised.
Dockyards
Motor-generator sets are often used to
provide 60Hz supplies for ships moored at
dockyards where the national power system
only operates at 50Hz. PRISMIC® PMS can
be used to control such systems, making
adjustments to AVR datum points and stator
racking gear to facilitate power sharing.
Comprehensive Training
Training for your team is available both
on site and at the BRUSH training facility.
The BRUSH power system simulator and
real generators are used to provide an
in depth understanding of your power
management system.
24 Hour Support
Worldwide presence of BRUSH service
engineers and our technical support
team provide you with expert advice and
assistance when you need it.
