ABB installs a system of monitoring and energetic management on the entire fleet of AIDA Cruises
Draft of tools of decisional support studied in order to diminish the total costs on the power consumption
April 24, 2015
Helvetic group ABB is installing own system of monitoring and energetic management called EMMA (Energy System Management) on the entire fleet of ten cruise ships of property of the German company AIDA Cruises. The EMMA Advisory suite, already anticipates on six of the ten ships, is tools of decisional support studied in order to diminish the total costs on the power consumption, for a single ship or the entire fleet.
The installation on the AIDA fleet of the EMMA system, consistent with the plan of management of energy efficiency of ship SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Plan Management) previewed from the international norms, will cover seven categories of maximum importance: power of propulsion, efficiency of the propulsion, order of the ship, power hotel and users auxiliaries, system of conditioning for person, specific fuel consumption of main the diesel generators and consumption totals of fuel. Through the reduction of the fuel consumptions, ABB will help AIDA to reduce the polluting emissions in the atmosphere.
All the generated data on board will be transferred inside an application cloud for a comparative analysis between the ships. All this will supply to the earth direction a full visibility of all the energetic consumption of the entire fleet.
"In AIDA - Jens Lassen has explained, senior vice president Marine Operations di AIDA Cruises. - we have realized that, in order to reach the maximum efficiency, we would have had to approach an energetic management of edge in clinical and scientific way. That's why we have chosen to install EMMA of the ABB. The main benefit of having in equipment a so advanced system of energetic management is in the fact to have within reach of the indicators key of performance elaborated mathematically and not of the simple raw datas".
