Presentation Title
New DNV notations for more robust closed bus-ties power systems
To assist the industry in the continued development of more robust DP systems DNV has introduced three new qualifiers to allow for higher flexibility in DP closed bus-ties design and verification. Operating redundant DP systems with connected power systems have become more common and the incentives are mostly related to the potential for fuel reduction and the cost-saving and emission reductions that follow. It is expected that the demand for robust and fuel-efficient power plants will further increase, both for DP and non-DP vessels, as an enabler for further decarbonization and digitalization of ship systems.
