Method and a system for testing of a power management system of a marine vessel

Abstract

Herein disclosed is a system for testing a power management system (2) of a marine vessel (1), in which said power management system (2) is arranged for controlling systems (6) that produce electrical energy, in which said power management system (2) is arranged for receiving first signals (9) from a power consuming system (7). As a response to said first signals (9) said power management system (2) is arranged for furnishing second control signals (10) to a power generation system (6) arranged for furnishing power (P) to said power consuming system (7) and/or to one or more electrical power distribution grid (90), characterized by a simulator (120) arranged for being connected to said power management system (2), said simulator (120) including a simulated power consuming system (7′) arranged for receiving real and/or simulated control signals (8, 8′) pertaining to a desired state of said simulated power consuming system (7′), a simulated power generation module (6′) arranged for furnishing simulated power (P′) to said simulated power consuming system (7′), said simulated power consuming system (7′) arranged for furnishing simulated signals (9′) to said real power management system (2), said real power management system (2) arranged for furnishing control signals (10) to said simulated power generation system (6′) as a response to said simulated signals (9′), said simulated power generation system (6′) arranged for providing simulated power (P′) to said simulated power consuming system (7′) as a response to said control signals (10), for the functional testing and/or failure mode testing of said power management system (2) under said simulated signals (9′).
