Technical Analysis:

Upon inspection, SeaKing Group’s engineers observed irregularities in the frequency and voltage curves, particularly during the initial load increase of the bow thruster generator. The abnormal behaviour indicated a potential issue with the excitation system or Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR).

Challenges Identified:

The collapsing voltage during the load increase was a key challenge, indicative of an excitation or AVR malfunction. Addressing this issue became imperative to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the bow thruster generator.

Solution Implemented:

SeaKing’s engineers implemented a targeted solution by replacing the existing AVR. The decision to install a new AVR aimed to restore proper excitation control and stabilise voltage levels during the critical phases of the generator’s operation.

Technical Precision and Expertise:

The successful resolution of the tripping problem highlighted SeaKing’s technical expertise in interpreting and addressing complex electrical issues within maritime systems. The decision to fit a new AVR reflected a detailed understanding of the bow thruster generator’s intricate electrical components.

Outcome and Impact:

Installing the new AVR not only resolved the tripping problem but also optimised the performance and reliability of the bow thruster generator. This project showcased SeaKing’s commitment to ensuring the seamless operation of critical electrical systems on maritime vessels, contributing to the overall efficiency and safety of the Liverpool Viking.

Future-Ready Electrical Solutions:

SeaKing Group’s intervention in the Liverpool Viking project exemplifies its capability to deliver future-ready electrical solutions for the maritime industry. The precise diagnosis, targeted component replacement, and restoration of optimal system functionality underscore SeaKing’s role as a trusted partner in maintaining the electrical integrity of maritime fleets.
