RESEARCH ON APPLICATION OF DIGITAL MULTI-FUNCTION METERS IN POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON SHIPS

Abstract

This paper presents a solution for collecting and processing input data for the ship's PMS power management system using digital multifunction meters. The general structure of a PMS system using a digital multifunction meter and a data collection and processing algorithm will be proposed in this study. The digital multifunction meter will act as a measuring device that synthesizes all necessary input signals for the PMS system and communicates with the central controller PLC and SCADA system via a communication network using Modbus protocol. The proposed solution will contribute to simplifying the structure of the power management system (PMS) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). Test results show that the proposed device and algorithm operate stably and reliably and can be completely applied in PMS power management systems to improve accuracy, reliability and reduce costs in the future.
