HybriDrive® Propulsion Control System (PCS):

 .
 

 

 

 

 


The Propulsion Control System (PCS) is the power processing and power management center for the entire Northern Lights marine hybrid system. It works in conjunction with the System Control Unit (SCU) to provide system monitoring and control. The SCU can be either mounted on the propulsion control system or elsewhere within the engine room depending on your space requirements and needs. These systems control the optimal flow of power to and from the motor, diesel engine and energy storage system.

Our PCS and SCU also enable the overall system performance to be customized to an operator’s specific requirements and provide diagnostic information to enhance maintenance of the entire system.

 

Features

• Selectable acceleration settings
• Onboard diagnostics
• SAE 1939 CAN interface
• System control and vessel interface .. ..electronics mounted externally
• PCS is liquid cooled for superior.thermal management and control

 

Benefits

• Rugged, durable, and highly reliable
• Flexible installation and cooling
• Standard communications interface
• Supports prognostics health management
• Optional heater output, eliminates need for fuel-fired heater
• Performance can be tailored to customer needs
