Integrated Digital Solutions in the Management of

Ship Electrical Systems

Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of integrated digital control systems applied in the modern shipping industry on the operation of ship power plants. The advantages of the transition from traditional analog control systems to digital platforms are examined, in particular, the working principles of the power management system and integrated automation system are examined. The article also highlights the contributions of digital solutions to energy efficiency, fuel economy and ship safety. The main contributions of digital solutions to energy efficiency, fuel economy and ship safety are the optimal operation of generators as a result of automatic load balancing, the prevention of excess and unnecessary energy consumption, the early detection of faults that cause power loss and the collection of accurate statistical data on energy consumption. In this case, energy efficiency increases and equipment wear and tear decreases.
