Abstract: System for controlling a marine vessel comprising a number of devices, the devices including a number of power generators and consumers, further comprising sensors for monitoring the activity of the devices. The system including at least one processor calculating device score values of the devices and a control unit connected to said devices and being configured to calculate an efficiency score value based on said device score values. The efficiency score value defining the efficiency of the system. The system also calculates the redundancy of the system based on the operation mode and/or load of the devices, and a redundancy margin index indicating the redundancy of the system devices, according to predetermined scores for each operation mode and computing the efficiency and redundancy values.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for controlling a power plant in a marine vessel. The system comprises at least one switchboard further comprising, a plurality of power plant members including, power suppliers such as power generators and energy storage elements, at least one consumer, and a Dynamic Hybrid Control unit comprising a measurement means for monitoring predetermined power plant and vessel related parameters, and a computational means for computing and predicting power and energy requirements in the power plant for varying time spans into the future. The system utilizes said power and energy requirements for pre-planning and allocating of power and energy between said power plant members for minimizing transients, including voltage, frequency variations in the power plant and load variations on the power generators.
