Currently, there is an increased interest in the tools and methods of active control of generation and consumption of the inactive energy flows. Particularly, the task is relevant for autonomous electric power systems operating on a non-linear load. At the same time, the inactive energy flows is required to be controlled according to the specified law in order to impart the desired properties to autonomous systems. In general, with a high degree of automation on board the ships of the world fleet, the task of improving the efficiency of the automatic control of electricity quality remains urgent to them. This issue has arisen due to the fact that the semiconductor converters of electricity are becoming more widely used in the ship’s autonomous power systems. A scheme has been developed on the Ethernet platform for optimizing system performance of maritime platforms. The research was focused on the offshore platforms that operate in the Black Sea.
