Swiss aquatic power firm WinGD has actually introduced a software-based Engine Power Limitation (EPL) system to make it possible for quick as well as economical conformity with the IMO’s EEXI laws, which participate in pressure following year.

The remedy makes use of the engine control system to restrict engine power to fulfill EEXI layout effectiveness standards as well as consists of a needed emergency situation override capacity. It applies to all WinGD, Wärtsilä as well as Sulzer X, X-DF, as well as RT-flex two-stroke engines running with UNIC or WECS-9520 engine control systems.

Dr Rudolf Holtbecker, WinGD Operations Director stated: “Some EEXI solutions could involve high retrofitting costs or have a knock-on impact on operations or engine performance. A software-based EPL from the engine designer is the most economical way to meet the new requirements while safeguarding reliability and minimizing disruption to the fleet.”

The EPL offering matches WinGD’s remedies ecological community of future gas capacity, hybrid power, as well as electronic optimization to aid ship proprietors as well as drivers pick one of the most adaptable, functional, as well as economical path in the direction of decarbonisation.

“This solution leverages our deep understanding of engine design and operating experience. It represents an important step in greenhouse gas emissions compliance for WinGD engine users, providing a compliant baseline engine output from which operational emissions can be further reduced in line with evolving regulations.” stated Holtbecker.
