Navigating maritime efficiency with
ADF technology
Effortlessly meet global standards and enhance onboard
power efficiency with Comsys ADF
Putting energy to better use
In the maritime industry, optimizing energy use is not just beneficial -it’s essential. That’s exactly what Comsys ADF Marine technology is designed to achieve. By addressing more than just simple harmonics tuning, our technology actively mitigates a wide range of natural and unpredictable power quality issues that arise from complex onboard grids.
Meeting new global standards
Starting January 1, 2023, all ships are required to calculate their Energy Efficiency Existing Ship Index (EEXI) and initiate data collection for their annual operational Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) and CII rating. These new regulations are part of a global initiative aimed at improving maritime energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Comsys ADF technology ensures that vessels not only comply with these standards but excel, enhancing onboard power efficiency and contributing to sustainable maritime operations.
Transitioning to more efficient technologies
Switching from Direct On Line (DOL) motors to Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controlled motors can result in significant energy savings -up to 30%. However, without proper harmonic management, VFD installations can compromise power quality. Our ADF systems effectively manage these harmonics, ensuring that energy savings are realized without introducing new challenges onboard.
Enhancing onboard power efficiency with ADF technology
- Advanced Harmonic Management: Comsys ADF technology efficiently mitigates the harmonics generated by VFDs, ensuring that energy savings are maximized without compromising the ship’s power quality.
- Adaptive Compensation: Designed specifically for marine environments, our ADF systems can handle complex configurations like split bus bars and automatically adjust compensation based on bus location.
- Sensorless Operation: Our innovative sensorless feature allows for improving power quality without the need to install current transformers (CTs), simplifying the integration and maintenance of new VFDs.
- Marine and Electrical Certifications: Our ADF product range is fully certified by major marine standards bodies including DNV, ABS, and BV, ensuring adherence to rigorous safety and quality benchmarks.
- Regulatory Compliance with THD Limits: Regulatory bodies enforce strict Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) limitations for operational vessels. Non-compliance can result in significant fines or operational restrictions. Thanks to the highly dynamic capabilities of our ADF technology, it excels in maintaining THD within required limits, safeguarding your operations against regulatory penalties and ensuring uninterrupted service.
By addressing a wider range of power quality issues and being easy to size, install and maintain, retrofittable Comsys ADF can improve grid capacities on any size ship by 10% or more.
