Kongsberg MetaPower Quad

One of the most challenging measurements to obtain on a ship are precise numbers on the torque transferred by a solid piece of shaft-steel over time. Our patented MetaPower Quad tool accurately provides this data – the key to many KPIs on engine and vessel performance, including EEXI and CII The MetaPower Quad is based on a patented design capable of measuring more than just shaft power. Two slotted wheels are installed with some distance between them on the shaft. Laser sensors individually read the wheels' relative position. Industry leading high-res processing of torque and power data is computed for every 1° of shaft revolution. Essential data are provided via TCP/IP for fast & lag-free communication. Also provides pre-processed data-sets for in-depth torsion analysis Kongsberg Maritime has developed it's patented torquemeter over many years, with strong emphasize on long-term correct measurement, ease of use, and additional functions. ISO 19030-2:2016(E) defines delivered power as one of two primary parameters for measuring changes in hull and propeller performance. The standard also specifies minimum data acquisition rates, which the data shall be recored with. For engine power this is 0.07Hz, or once every 15s. MetaPower Quad has built in capacity to store such data for minimum 10 years. View the performance data in any relevant time perspective. The system is of course ready to share data. Connect to it with industry standard Modbus TCP, use the HTTPS interface or access the history database remotely with an SQL program. Regulations were enacted in 2023 to reduce greenhouse gases from shipping. Shaft Power Limitation (Shapoli) is one of the methods to comply with these regulations. Starting in 2Q/2022 MetaPower Quad is delivered with a functionality to set power limitation in accordance with EEXI regulation. This functionality will:
