Diesel Engine Speed Regulation with the DEGO IV Digital Governor

The DEGO IV advanced governor system is based on a single hardware platform. The software covers all typical marine and land based arrangements such as:

-Propulsion single engine (slow, medium and high speed engines)
-Propulsion multi engine arrangement
-Generator engine control

-A wide range of propulsion and power generation control modes available
-Dual fuel operation
-Up to 28 diesel engines can be controlled as a single system
-VIT Variable Injection timing algorithm
-Interface for speed, power and torque profile follow-up for voyage optimization functions
-CPP control and optimization

Benefits propulsion control
-Torque and smoke limits
-Slow mode function - reducing fuel consumption and maintenance
-Excellent load-sharing in multiple-engine applications
-Back-up control mode bypassing the governor in fixed propeller applications
-Engine / shaft synchronization for vibration and noise reduction
-Fuel Pump Motion moves the fuel racks at engine standstill for inspection(seizure) and lubrication

Benefits generator control
-Soft start reducing emissions
-Engine synchronization and power management
-Fast response to load changes (feed-forward action)
-Electric power measurement; breaker connect; tie breakers
-Isochronous load-sharing gives stable frequency also at fluctuating load 

-Roll damping with fuel saving option (RollOut)
-Load and power control modes with fuel saving 
-Voyage optimization for passenger ships (EcoPilot)
-The governor- and CPP control are combined in the same system (DEGO IV)
-Interface with speed / load profile running from the optimal control ofvoyage optimization program
-Analysis and analytics with dynamic optimization of the fuel saving functions
-VIT timing optimization
-Sensor fusion between NMEA data and DEGO’s own instrumentation for fuel saving analysis and dynamic optimization
-Remote log and remote supervision of the fuel performance 

The Torductor Marine seamlessly integrates with ABB’s OCTOPUS suite. All data measured by Torductor Marine is available for analysis and reporting by ABB’s OCTOPUS suite. Furthermore, this information can be made available to vessel’s owners and managers through the OCTOPUS Fleet Portal.
