Siemens Closed Ring

Scenario for Fault ride through test (Short Circuit)

Helix Q5000 @ Jurong Shipyard in Singapore

• MV switchboards in closed ring operation, 4 split system

• 2 generators online

• 3 phase bolted short circuit of MV transformer breaker

• Hidden failure introduced in transformer breaker (DnV & USCG requirement)


Energy Storage System


Energy Storage – solutions proven in operations

Safety power back-up (8 vessels)

Power to maintain position and operation until power is restored,

or safely terminate operation despite in case of power loss

Peak Shaving

Absorbs load peaks and load fluctuations to reduce the required available power

and running engines

Performance boost (6 vessels)

Instant power to absorb sudden load changes which reduce ramp time exposed

by running engines. Allowing dynamic performance beyond that of combustion

engines

Savings OPEX & CAPEX

Improving fuel efficiency while also reducing running hours and wear and tear of

equipment, provides savings in maintenance, overhauls and downtime. Reduced

fuel, emissions taxes. May reduce number or rating of engines and thrusters

Improved environmental footprint

Reduces fuel consumption and emissions
