Dynamic load compensation

System for reducing load and frequency variations in the power distribution of a dynamically positioned vessel, the system comprising

• a consumer load control being connected to at least one power generator and at least one thruster, the consumer load control being adapted to monitor the available power in the system from said at least one power generator and the power consumption from said at least one thruster as well as other power consumers in the system, and
• a dynamic positioning (DP) unit monitoring the position of the vessel and including a thrust allocation logic calculating the required thruster capacity for maintaining a predetermined position,
• wherein the DP unit is adapted to define an acceptable window for variations in said position relative to the predetermined position and communicate this to said consumer load control, and said consumer load control is adapted to adjust the power provided to said thruster in order to reduce total load variations depending on the available power and to the position of the vessel relative to said window defined by the dynamic positioning system and said consumer load control being adapted to communicate thruster reduction to said thrust allocation logic.
