Product Overview

Reliable Solution for Your Electrical Ship Propulsion Control System

The General Control System (GCS) is an integrated solution designed specifically for electric ships, combining the Energy Management System (EMS), Steering Control System (SCS), and Propulsion Control System (PCS). PLC-based EMS monitors and controls power flow between batteries, motors, and generators, ensuring efficient energy use. The SCS replaces traditional hydraulics with servo-driven electric actuators for precise, energy-saving rudder control. PCS manages various propulsion types through a modular interface with intelligent displays and hybrid mode switching. Together, the GCS provides centralized, reliable, and intelligent control of propulsion, steering, and power systems, enhancing vessel safety, efficiency, and ease of operation.

GCS Introduction

EMS

The PLC-based Energy Management System (EMS) is a critical control system for electric ships. It collects data from all propulsion motors, generators, and inverters, and communicates with the Battery Management System (BMS), displaying all system parameters. The EMS controls inverters to manage battery charging and discharging modes and can switch hybrid motors between motor and generator modes. This system is easy to install and maintain, featuring remote software updates and diagnostics, and it integrates seamlessly with the ship's monitoring and alarm systems, including an optional dynamic positioning system.

SCS

The Steering Control System (SCS) is designed for controlling the operation of a ship's steering gear. The electric steering control system uses servo motors to control electric linear actuators, which in turn control the ship's rudder angle to achieve steering and course-keeping. Our electric steering control system eliminates the need for traditional hydraulic pump stations. Instead, servo motors directly move the screw rods back and forth, generating significant torque while saving energy and reducing weight.

PCS

The Propulsion Control System (PCS) is an integrated system designed to control and manage the propulsion systems of ships. The primary function of the PCS is to ensure the efficient, safe, and reliable operation of the ship's propulsion equipment, such as main engines, thrusters, and steering gears, thereby facilitating precise navigation control and optimized power output. Our propulsion control system adopts modular design and integration, meeting the propulsion needs of various electric ships, and includes functions such as remote-control system, speed/pitch display, azimuth display, and various hybrid mode switching.
