PDN schematics appear frequently on vessel consoles, to assist with the management and monitoring of power distribution to the systems controlled by the console. Where a PDN schematic is required on a console, a schematic module is added in the required space using the Console Designer. The schematic may then be drawn in that space (or a pre-drawn schematic added).
Power Distribution Network (PDN) schematics are included on consoles to provide an overview of available power sources and to allow for the configuration of those sources. Power sources and vessel systems connected to them are all represented on the PDN as*nodes. Nodes are connected by conduits which provide an overview of available distribution pathways for power.
The Power Distribution Network (PDN) has a large number of identical components located around the vessel. Correctly identifying each component, where it is located and how it and other components are linked relies on a precise designation system.
Power is distributed between power generation systems and major vessel systems by the power distribution network (PDN). The PDN is made up of distribution nodes connected by conduits. The power distribution simulator manages the routing and allocation of power by defining connections between nodes. The PDN is designed to enable power to be routed around damage and to cope with extraordinary contingenices while ensuring stability of power supply across vessel systems.
The vessel’s Power Distribution Network is a highly redundant, layered distribution system for delivering power from generation and auxiliary power sources to vessel systems.
