Harland Simon UPS LTD have increased their product portfolio to be able to meet more demanding specifications.

This includes a range of Wide Operating Temperature UPS's -30/40 up to 55/75 Deg C.

Outdoor Enclosures suitable for UPS systems

Lead Crystal Batteries which offer many more cycles and longer life even if used constantly in +30-40 Deg C operating temperatures.

An integrated platform management system (IPMS) is a distributed architecture system used on board ships and submarines for the real-time monitoring and control of the vessel's hull, mechanical, electrical and damage control machinery and systems.

Typical machinery, equipment and systems monitored and controlled by the IPMS include propulsion engines, gearboxes, fixed/controllable pitch propellers, power generation sets, power distribution switchboards and electrical distribution centres, damage control machinery such as fire pumps, and auxiliary machinery systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, chilled water, etc.

In essence, the IPMS controls all of the equipment on board a warship, excluding the combat related weapons/sensors and the ship's communication and navigation equipment. Source-Wikipedia.

Harland Simon UPS supplied 16 x Lloyds Approved IP54 Marine UPS systems to Servowatch for 4 x Military Afloat Reach and Sustainability (MARS) Tankers.

These Harland ProtectUPS® - Marine models support the consoles and auxiliaries across the ships governed by the IPMS ensuring that operations run smoothly and that system failures do not turn into a catastrophe.

When installed on board any class and size of navy surface vessel, the system monitors and controls all the power modules from the diesel engine and gas turbine to the transmission and pumps right through to the exhaust system, including ancillary modules such as fuel supply, ventilation and fire alarm systems.

Its integrated energy management capability assures reliable power supply and energy distribution in every situation, backed-up by a reliable rugged Harland ProtectUPS® - Marine system.
The NEW Harland ProtectUPS® - MTA (DNV-GL) range of marine type approved DNV-GL certified IP54 integrated UPS systems offer comprehensive power protection and battery backup for a range of marine based applications including support for drillship Integrated Platform Management Systems.

Thrusters on a ship or offshore rig are used for accurate manoeuvring and maintenance of position and are critical to the dynamic positioning system.
The Azimuth Thruster can rotate 360° and is often used for main propulsion whereas a Bow or Stern Thruster mounted in a tunnel can be retracted into the hull after duty.
Controlled from the bridge, the directions are given remotely to the thrusters but if there is a remote failure, a manual method for changing the pitch can be operated from the thruster room.
If the power to the electric thrusters should fail for any reason then a rugged UPS designed specifically for the harsh environment within the depths of a marine vessel is a requirement.
According to DNV Ship rules Pt.6 Ch.7 – Dynamic Positioning Systems document states “The battery installed for each UPS shall be able to provide output power at maximum load for 30 minutes after loss of charger input power. Loss of charger input power and UPS on bypass power shall initiate an alarm in the DP-control system.”(E103 Control System Power Supply).
The Harland ProtectUPS® - MTA (DNV-GL) is built to IP54 standards and the battery autonomy ranges from 5 – 60 minutes.
The NEW Harland ProtectUPS® - MTA (DNV-GL) range of marine type approved DNV-GL certified IP54 integrated UPS systems offer comprehensive power protection and battery backup for a range of marine based applications including support for all thrusters.

Many critical electrical systems installed on a vessel are essential for the safety of the personnel and equipment on-board.
One such system is the Dynamic Positioning which is a computer controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel’s position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters.
Imagine if the vessel’s input power suddenly fails or is damaged then the ship would lose steering and start to drift possibly crashing into other vessels or structures.
This is where Harland Simon’s Marine range of Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) become essential; for the second that power is lost the UPS kicks in and depending on its runtime will maintain clean power to the essential systems on-board until the vessel’s power is restored.
The Harland ProtectUPS® - MTA is a power protection type approved to IACS-E10 UPS waiting DNV-GL approval.
Dynamic Positioning is commonly used within the offshore oil industry typically on-board exploration vessels, pipe and cable laying ships, drill-ships and Floating Production Storage and Offloading Vessels (FPSO).
Installation of a Harland ProtectUPS® - MTA (DNV-GL) secures the continuity of your business by guaranteeing a supply of clean and protected power to support the various technological elements of a Dynamic Positioning system.
