Unmanned seagoing vessels are increasingly being used. In the paper the dump scow Rabochaya is considered as an example of an unmanned vessel. An extended marine control system, a video surveillance subsystem, a surveillance and search engine are additionally installed on the scow to carry out industrial tasks in unmanned mode. The correct operation of these systems and the whole vessel depends on the high-quality operation of the ship's electrical power system. The aim of the study is to identify abnormal modes of parallel operation of marine diesel generator sets and to develop methods and means for their elimination. The results of the experimental research and mathematical modeling have revealed the existence of power exchange oscillations when the ship generators operating in parallel. Power exchange oscillations can be detected with the help of generator current oscillations. It has been proposed to introduce a unit for eliminating power exchange oscillations (EPEO) into the automatic control system of ship electrical power systems for eliminating such oscillations. An algorithm for the operation of the EPEO unit has been developed, it controls the settings of the rotational speed regulators of diesel-generator sets. The proposed methods and tools reduce the amplitude of power exchange oscillations to an acceptable value, and therefore contribute to the high-quality operation of the ship's electrical power system and control systems in unmanned mode. The results obtained make it possible to ensure reliable and trouble-free operation of any autonomous electrical power system during the operation mode without maintenance personnel.

THE PURPOSE. Consider the most pressing and important problems of parallel operation of generator sets as part of autonomous electrical complexes of modern sea vessels, such as the transition of diesel generator sets to reverse power mode and the existence of power exchange oscillations during parallel operation. Consider the possibility of improving the method for eliminating power exchange oscillations using maps of dependences of the amplitude of oscillations on the parameters of diesel generator sets. METHODS. When solving the problem, a mathematical model of an autonomous electrical complex was used, which allows to take into account the backlash clearances in the control loops of the rotation frequency of parallel diesel generator sets. RESULTS. A map of the dependence of the load angle on the backlash clearances was constructed. The complete identity of the maps of the dependence of the load angle on the backlash clearances and the maps of the dependence of the amplitude of the power exchange oscillations on the backlash gaps has been proved. In the criterion for determining the value of the amplitude of the power exchange oscillations, it is proposed to use the load angle of the generators instead of the envelope currents of the generators. CONCLUSION. The use of the load angle of parallel operating generators allows to increase the speed and accuracy of the unit for eliminating power exchange oscillations. The developed approach makes it possible to control the transition of generating sets to the reverse power mode and the appearance of power exchange oscillations based on measuring the load angles of the generators.
