AUTOMATIONWIAS acts as main alarm system for the vessel, and it monitorsand controls other Wärtsilä products/systems as well as ship utilitysystems like ballast, bilge, cargo, fuel, cooling etc.The Ecometer function in WIAS estimates fuel consumption andassist the operator on how to operate the vessel the optimal way, tosave fuel. The Ecometer is developed for Diesel Electric propulsion,and based on Wärtsiläs expert knowledge on diesel electric propulsionsystems, and propeller and hull design. Using information from PMS,propeller curves and hull design as well as data from ECDIS it ispossible to plan the route based on upon minimum fuel consumption.Fuel consumption reports can be generated for the differentoperating profiles (like steaming, DP and harbor). Saving fuel reducesoperating costs and saves the environment.Wärtsilä Power Management SystemThe Power Management System controls power generation and powerdistribution onboard the ship, to secure enough available power forpropulsion and manoeuvring . A complete Wärtsilä solution, includingPMS, ensures an optimal tuned system that will reduce the risk of badperformance and blackouts.PMS from Wärtsilä contains all standard functions like loaddependant start/stop, load sharing, synchronising, load shedding etc.The system has several advanced options that will reduce distributionlosses, increase the energy availability and save space and installationcosts. For use in the offshore market, Wärtsilä PMS has passedstringent tests like Hardware-in-loop (HIL) tests from third partyverification companies.Wärtsilä PMS is fully integrated in WIAS.Wärtsilä automation systems are designed to provide a high level ofsafety, economy, reliability and availability through the whole life-cycleof a vessel.The design is based on use of Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)components and a high level of standardization. This reduces buildingcosts, secures high availability of spare parts and keeps maintenancecosts down. As process stations, Programmable Logic Controllers(PLCs) are used, while Personal Computers (PCs) contain the graphicaluser interface and storage of historical alarm and trend data.The number of, and configuration/topology of the automationsystem varies from delivery to delivery, and depends on ship type andsize, as well as customer requirements25
