Review of Legal Aspects of Electrical Power Quality in Ship Systems in the Wake of the Novelisation and Implementation of IACS Rules and Requirement

This paper deals with new challenges regarding power quality in ship technology resulting from the novelisation and implementation of IACS (International Association Classification Societies) rules requirements. These rules, known as E24 2016/2018, address harmonic distortion for electrical distribution systems, including filters. The reasons legislative changes based on a short overview quality-related accidents are discussed, after which brief presentation updated illustrated by related DNV GL (Det Norske Veritas Germanischer Lloyd) case study is shown. A key part this includes proposals concerning harmonics interharmonics, indices transient disturbances. aim these to unify measurement procedures maintain effective comparable criteria monitoring establish requirements owners, designers, shipbuilders, classifiers, crew members marine objects.
