NEWS AT ONESTEP POWER:

OneStep Power's key technical differentiation is the ability to produce the voltage response of a short circuit without actually performing a short circuit. Why? And what's the point? Back in 2016, OneStep Power was formed on the basis of developing testing tools to provide dynamically positioned vessels with assurance of the reliability of their power systems. The key technology, the Generator Voltage Response Tester (GVRT) was created to mimic the voltage responses of a sho

System Integration Testing: A broad view and how it impacts batteries on board

There's still some good news out there. Here we found a little of it to share

Two incidents made our linkedin feeds this week, both of which are receiving regulatory and social media attention. The first: According to Nauticus Live, Australia's Shell Prelude FLNG recently suffered a blackout on the main power system, and the backup diesel generator was not immediately available, "affecting certain amenities onboard." Secondly, The Times of Israel reported the Leviathan platform had an unplanned flaring event as a result of a "power glitch". These event

Monday mornings sometimes need a little help to get going, so we like to find a couple of light pieces to kick off your week. The round-up of the latest maritime stories: Maritime Executive reports South Korea is funding a vessel modernization program for its fleet of passenger and cargo ships. "The plan aims to support the construction of 21 passenger vessels and 38 cargo vessels." WorldOil.com reported on Shell CTO Yuri Sebregts's comments from the annual meeting of Baker H

Many conversations the team at OneStep Power have with people interested in our technology include other technologies needed to verify remote power systems. One of the testing methods we advocate heavily is Primary Injection testing. For electrical engineers, the Electrical Engineering Portal has a great and in-depth article describing the outcomes, benefits and methods for primary injection testing. For people who just need the basics, the following will help understand the

OneStep Power released a white paper today, detailing the testing methodology and outcomes of four vessels recently tested in the Gulf of Mexico. The paper, which can be viewed here, presents historical data captured from the Generator Voltage Response Tester and ZeroDip technologies and demonstrates the results of both successful and unsuccessful testing. Our technology will be on display at the European Dynamic Positioning Conference and OSJ Conference in London the week of

OneStep Power is once again shortlisted for the Offshore Support Journal’s Innovation Award. This year we were nominated for our high-speed switching technology, ZeroDip. The technology will be on display at the European Dynamic Positioning Conference and OSJ Conference in London the week of 3-6 Feb.

Here at OneStep Power we are all about innovation, and LED lighting is a great innovation. We thought we'd take a couple of minutes to highlight some of our favourite stats about LEDs. Not only is there a reduction of energy use of up to 75% when compared to incandescent lightbulbs, There is also an associated maintenance and time reduction because the lights last longer and the fixtures aren’t subject to the heat of the older lighting. Energy.Gov estimates LEDs will “use at

Happy 2020! In this post we detail our resolutions for the new year.

Several organizations have been exploring the opportunity to use “enhanced” notations to add value to retrofit upgrades of dynamic positioning systems. Enhanced notations, such as DNVGL’s DYNPOS-ER, or ABS’s EHS provide vessel designers and owners with an opportunity to leverage modern technologies into dynamic positioning concepts. The “Enhanced” concept is designed to leverage modern technology improvements and improve reliability. While the design concept is complementary
