1562TEU Container Ship "Maogang Shanghai"
On January 13, 2021, the 1562TEU container ship "Maogang Shanghai", which was manufactured by Zhejiang Hexing Shipyard and classified into CCS, was successfully launched into the water. At present, it has been successfully towed to the anchorage for the next stage of equipment commissioning. The ship power station uses three 400kW diesel gensets as the main genset (the original engine is Yuchai YC6TD655L-C20 marine ECU diesel engine), the total capacity of the power station is 1200kW and 500kW shaft genset is used under navigation. SmartGen provides the ship with one-stop power station management solution from engine control to main switchboard control.

In order to promote the reliability and automation of this ship’s automatic power station management system, this ship’s main genset is equipped with MGCP100B-2 diesel engine control box developed by SmartGen for marine ECU to realize the automatic start/stop of main genset, engine safety protection and ECM parameter monitoring functions. Its main control unit applies HMC9000A engine controller. The control box is equipped with a built-in HEP300 electronic potentiometer, which can convert the passive digital speed signal from the switchboard into a 0~5V signal with higher precision to achieve higher precision load adjustment. The HRM3300-3 remote control box with the same operating interface as the local control box, is installed on the alarm detection platform.
Meanwhile, the main switchboard adopts the multi-master power management system built by SmartGen HMC6 power management controller to realize the on-demand automatic scheduling and real-time protection of 3 main gensets + 1 shaft genset + 1 emergency and mooring genset, which greatly improves the power supply reliability of the power station.
Since SmartGen mature products with full intellectual property rights and CCS certification are used from diesel engine control to power management module of the main switchboard, the whole system follows the same design style, with more friendly HMI, easier operation and more efficient crew training.
During the commissioning process of the power station, SmartGen’s on-site service personnel worked together with the project management personnel of Hexing shipyard, ship owner representatives, genset manufactures and main switchboard manufacturers, to ensure that the power station passed the acceptance of the CCS with high standard. This is another successful case of SmartGen marine control products in high-end marine application field in 2020.
