(TRB Ref No 6)
a) Describe a component Electrical power plant of vessel is a power complex, including a lot
providing electronic equipment of units, sensors, detectors , devices and other parts. Key elements
control (6.5.1). of ship’s power plant are the primary engine, generator and main
switchboard.
Electrical power plant is constant control parameter characterizing
the order of primary engines generators, auxiliary devices, the
quality of generated electric power, the degree of load on the
generators in the work process
Engine crew can control of all processes in engine from ECR from
the main remote control panel and main switchboard. Control
system and AMS on the vessel “FRONT FAVOUR” is SSAS-Pro. Vessel
has first class of automation.

Electronic equipment control is realized by signal 4-20 mA. This

signal converted in operate signal that effects on controlled object.
b) Describe flowcharts for Base flowcharts for automatic and control system for electronic
automatic and control system equipment operation are carried out on logical element which
for electronic equipment creates logical function:
operation (6.6.4).  “AND”
 “OR”
 “NO”
 “AND/NO”
 “OR/NO”.
All logical function is described by mathematical notation and state
table.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment need to regulate
the operation of this system.
The system have sensor that shows actual value of controlled
parameter. After that, actual value compared with set point, and
subject to deviation of actual value and set point, control system
operates to actuator.
The main difference between systems are that in these systems
are used different parameters for regulation.
- Controlled parameter for heating is a temperature.
-Controlled parameter for air conditioning system is ambient
humidity ,freon pressure and temperature.
-Controlled parameter for ventilation system is a pressure.
PID Controller (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) or three term
control is a control loop mechanism using feedback.
A PID controller continuously calculates an error value as the
difference between a desired set point and a measured process
variable and applies a correction based on proportional, integral and
derivative terms.
1)Proportional: It controls the Set point-Present value error and
performs proportional control action in according to it.
2)Integral: It accounts past values of the Set point-Present value
error and time for removed this error and performs control action in
according to it.
3)Derivative: It estimates of the future trend of the Set point-

Present value error, based on its current rate of change and and
performs control action in according to it.
Auxiliary engines and generators are very important to the operation
and safe navigation of a vessel.
To ensure basic electrical service in case of engine failure,a sufficient
number of diesel generators should operate in parallel during
maneuvering .
The electronic current produced by the generator is sent to main
switchboard and distributed to consumers
Synchronous generators are necessary for interconnecting AC power
systems,and generators must be added or stopped depending on
load changes .
They are connected parallel by means of transformer and
transmission lines. Under normal operating conditions all the
generators and synchronous motors in an interconnected system
operate in synchronism with each other.
If the load increases beyond the generated capacity, additional
generator must be taken in parallel. Similar, if the load decreases,
additional generators may be stopped.
The process of connecting one generator in parallel with another
generator is known as Synchronizing. The following parameters
must be same when synchronize one generator with another:
Voltage, Frequency and Phase.
Start-up operation and work of the generators units is possible both
manually and automatically. Start-up operation of the generator is
realized on the main console. Automatically: select the necessary
unit and push button “start”, DG is started, automatically is taken in
parallel. Manually: select the necessary unit and push button “start”,
DG is started and reached necessary RPM, than use Synchro Panel
to take DG in parallel (by ACB Control lever, Synchroscope,
Synchronized Lamp Status). Load is allocated automatically and
uniformly. If necessary, we can change load between DG manually
by Governor Motor lever.
The emergency generator should be ready for immediate use at all
time. When ESB de-energized the Emergency Generator starts
automatically then connected to ESB and get loaded. EDG must
have minimum two independent mean of starting. On the vessel
“FRONT FAVOUR’’ EDG has spring starter and electrical from the
battery. The emergency diesel generator should automatically start
during 45 sec. and take load in case blackout.
