Fuel management software for ships
Electronic Marine Systems (EMS Marcon), Inc
Propulsion Performance Processing, or P3 Technology, is based on a series of proprietary algorithms that permit online assessment of the vessel's propulsion loading and the effects of sea and wind on the hull as it moves through the water.
This assessment is done continually, and the result of these calculations creates an output to the engine throttles which is used to optimize the voyage in reaction to the changing conditions.
The unit's accurate ground speed is the cornerstone of this technology -- accuracy of 1/10 knot makes closed-loop control a reality.
High-precision speed coupled with rack position and RPM for engine loading are the sensor inputs required for the calculations. The software algorithms use these inputs to determine the conditions which are affecting the vessel's passage through the water; they also provide a high-precision output to control the throttle or pitch settings of the vessel. These slight automatic adjustments have a dramatic effect on the fuel used.
