Typical drillship power plants rely on conventional distribution systems for sustaining power to critical AC loads such as generator auxiliaries and fuel systems.

AKA’s high availability distribution bus uses a designed redundancy system to allow for multiple power sources to feed these types of critical systems. The high availability distribution system is also capable of creating a selection and redundancy scheme between various available auxiliaries as well. This allows for a redundant architecture involving supplies and loads. In the event that one distribution scheme is lost or unavailable, AKA’s high availability distribution bus will immediately select another based on configurable selection logic.
