ABB has equipped the new PSV with a full onboard DC grid system. The main advantage of such a system is that the ship’s generator engines no longer have to run at a fixed speed. Thus the engine’s speed can be adjusted to optimize the fuel consumption. Additionally, the footprint of the electrical equipment is reduced by up to 30% percent
