Breadcrumb Home Systems Industrial Electrification Defense Systems Naval Electric Propulsion NAVAL ELECTRIC PROPULSION POWERING PERFORMANCE GE Vernova naval electric propulsion increases vessel efficiency, capability and survivability. Shock-rated with low acoustic and electromagnetic signatures, our efficient systems provide high thrust, maneuverability, endurance and maintainability. TYPES OF ELECTRIC PROPULSION Electrification allows proven power and propulsion technologies to be tailored to the vessel’s mission. System integration balances power supply and demand, increases versatility in platform layout, improves efficiency, lowers emissions and reduces OPEX. INTEGRATED FULL ELECTRIC PROPULSION (IFEP) Suitable for both low and higher voltage ships, IFEP is a highly flexible and scalable system. All power sources in the network are available to both mission and propulsion loads. IFEP helps to future-proof vessels by increasing that flexibility and the ability to integrate a mix of power sources. By eliminating a fixed mechanical drive shaft through the ship, equipment can be positioned to improve space and survivability. HYBRID-ELECTRIC Available in direct drive and shaft-mounted electric motor configurations, these systems combine gas turbines or diesel engines with selectable operating modes dependent on speed. This improves fuel economy and enables low-noise operations. A power take-off (PTO) to supply electricity to weapons, sensors and onboard services, and enable fewer engines to achieve higher survivability 1 Motors and generators 2 Advanced AC & DC architectures 3 Power electronics 4 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 5 Control, automation & dynamic positioning 6 Energy management system Motors and generators reliably deliver high performance with exceptionally low signatures. Full shock-rated options. Tailored to vessel operations and onboard systems, these architectures support low, medium and high voltage power networks. Compact, shock-rated and modular, our high-speed, efficient naval power electronics are highly reliable and maintainable. Servicing is straightforward thanks to front access panels and easily removable modules Flexibly storing and deploying power for specific mission requirements, BESS allows ships to efficiently energize propulsion and other onboard systems. Optimizing mission performance via robust and secure control strategies, these solutions improve efficiency and network speed while reducing crewing requirements. Managing energy and distributing power, modular and scalable management systems balance load between energy sources, and power produced and consumed to improve efficiency. We energize new effects Contact Us OUR SOLUTIONS Electrical Machines & Power Electronics Electric motors and generators reliably deliver high performance with exceptionally low signatures. Rugged, power-dense designs feature advanced noise suppression systems, high redundancy, multi-phase windings and shock-rated options. Compact and modular, GE Vernova naval power electronics are highly reliable and maintainable. Servicing is straightforward thanks to front access panels and easily removable modules. AIM CIM VDM25000 LV3N MV7000 MV3000 AFE Active Stator GE Vernova’s Halo Active Stator technology is a fusion of electrical machines and power electronics via an Active Stator. This moves power management, control and distribution functions to the end rings - the halo - so separate equipment such as drives, switchboards and converters can be removed from the system. This saves cost, space, weight and cabling, while enabling new operational capabilities. GE Vernova’s Halo mesh architecture lets any power source power any load. This flexible distribution future-proofs vessels ready for increased energy demands. Testing & Emulation The Marine Power Test Facility (MPTF) is the only commercial facility globally that is capable of complete integrated naval power and propulsion system test and emulation up to 20 MW. A secure defense facility, MPTF develops, de-risks and validates current and future energy and electric power and propulsion technologies well ahead of sea trials. Consequently, customers can comprehensively evaluate systems before installation on platform, saving time and cost. Land-based testing & emulation Services GE Vernova 24/7 global service support improves vessel uptime. Remote support, responsive field services, dedicated service packages, OEM spares, training in virtual reality environments and turnkey project management are delivered by skilled technicians from a worldwide service center network. Therefore, navies can minimize time spent in dock, promoting fleet readiness.
