SOLUTION:• VACON® NXP Common DC bus provides Active Front End units with a total power of 6 MW.• AFE units control five centrifugal cargo pumps and two heavy fuel oil PD pumps with constant torque.• Low harmonic AFE units eliminate the need for over-sizing in the upstream feed transformers and diesel generators, leading to substantial cost savings.• A non-standard Common DC bus with redundant AFE feeders ensures a high degree of redundancy, availability and flexibility for maintenance and operations.
