DEIF's PPM 300 emerges as a versatile and intelligent generator control platform tailored for marine and offshore applications. Offering a comprehensive suite of control, protection, and supervision functions, the PPM 300 excels in managing generator systems, including diesel generators, emergency diesel generators, shaft generators, battery energy storage, shore connections, and bus tie breakers.
This power management solution not only meets set power requirements but also ensures stable operation, incorporating market-leading fuel optimization technology and Advanced Blackout Prevention (ABP) designed specifically for Dynamic Positioning (DP) plants. As an integral part of a multi-master solution, PPM 300 controllers connect seamlessly to eliminate single point failures, with the master functionality automatically transitioning to another host in the event of unit fall-out, ensuring continuous safety and reliability.
Constructed with market-leading quality hardware, the PPM 300 boasts the latest processor technology and long-life adaptability. Its modular design supports on-site replacement of processor, communication, measurement, and input-output modules, backed by comprehensive class approvals, facilitating fast, easy, and cost-saving service, repairs, and upgrades. The controller display unit, featuring a 5” color graphic screen, enhances user experience with intuitive sequences and icons for swift data readout, easy access to alarms handling, and simplified controller setup, all tailored to user permission levels.

The DEIF PPM 300 stands as a comprehensive generator control platform, excelling in the management of diverse generator systems essential for marine and offshore applications. Noteworthy features include its integration of market-leading fuel optimization technology and Advanced Blackout Prevention (ABP), specifically tailored for Dynamic Positioning (DP) plants. As part of a multi-master solution, the PPM 300 ensures continuous operation by seamlessly transitioning master functionality in the event of unit fall-out. Its market-leading quality hardware, coupled with a modular design, facilitates on-site module replacement, providing adaptability and ease of maintenance. The user-friendly 5” color graphic screen enhances control, offering an intuitive interface for swift data interpretation, easy access to alarms handling, and simplified controller setup.
In contrast, the DEIF PPU 300 primarily serves as a versatile Paralleling and Protection Unit, specializing in power distribution within marine and offshore settings. Unique to the PPU 300 is its flexibility to be incorporated into a power management solution where the power management logic is located elsewhere, showcasing its adaptability to different system configurations. While highly flexible and configurable for power distribution, it may require an additional Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for specific power management tasks. The PPU 300 highlights its versatility and flexibility in optimizing power distribution across various applications. As with the PPM 300, the choice between the two solutions ultimately depends on the specific needs and priorities of the intended application.
The YD420 vessel, a monumental 160-meter floating dock constructed by Shin Yang Shipyard, posed unique challenges that demanded cutting-edge solutions. Ultech Engineering, armed with the precision and reliability of DEIF controllers, successfully implemented the DEIF PPU300. At the heart of the vessel's electrical systems, the PPU300 played a crucial role in managing and optimizing power generation and distribution.
