The environmentally designed and built Viking Grace is to be made even more eco-friendly with a complete energy monitoring tool called EMMA Advisory Suite. This ABB-provided suite contains all the tools relevant for onboard monitoring as well as options for optimization and fleet level follow-up, tells ABB Marine's Jukka Ignatius in Viking Grace blog.
"The automatic onboard monitoring tool EMMA Onboard Tracker clearly visualizes the overall status of the vessel’s energy efficiency. The vessel’s performance is divided into four KPIs (Key Performance Indicators): cost of operation, energy production/consumption, navigational aspect and finally the optimization level. EMMA uses state of the art machine-learning algorithms to adjust KPI target values dynamically according to operational conditions such as speed and weather. This gives the crew realistic goals and the possibility of improving their operations.
Viking Grace also has the option of being equipped with the EMMA Advanced Optimizer module for dynamic trim optimization. This tool enables the operating crew to reach the optimum floating position, again by using modern adaptive algorithms developed by ABB, in all operational conditions.
All the onboard tools can be connected to EMMA Fleet Control – a modern web-based data discovery tool which allows the shore personnel to further analyze and follow-up on the collected data and calculated KPIs."
