Learn More THE NAVAL ENERGY GRID A naval energy grid is a unified onboard network that efficiently generates, distributes and manages power across a vessel. Combining power and propulsion within AC or DC architectures, it encompasses electrical machines, electrical equipment, power electronics as well as automation and controls. The result is a highly flexible, scalable and resilient platform. 1 Advanced navalized motors 2 Efficient generators 3 Advanced AC & DC architectures 4 Power electronics 5 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) 6 Control, automation, software & dynamic positioning 7 Asset & energy management system Shock-rated, power-dense induction and permanent magnet (PM) electric propulsion motors deliver high performance with exceptionally low signatures. Rugged and reliable generators provide power for energy-intensive missions. Next generation designs save space and weight onboard. 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 Energy management systems intelligently manage and distribute power, while Asset Performance Management (APM) software monitors equipment to enable predictive maintenance. OUR SOLUTIONS Naval Electric Propulsion GE Vernova naval electric propulsion systems strengthen vessel capability and survivability. Shock-rated with low signatures, our technologies provide high thrust, maneuverability and endurance. De-risked, proven systems configured for maintainability deliver true operational advantage at sea. Naval Electric Propulsion AC & DC Architectures Our AC & DC architectures form efficient and resilient LV, MV and HV power networks. Each offers flexible interfaces for equipment, provision for increased power capacity and suitability for different operations - creating a fully integrated, customized energy grid. New innovations have the potential to cut complexity, build costs, space requirements, maintenance requirements and fuel consumption. Power Networks Fully integrated power networks offer better resilience and separation while eliminating maintenance intensive mechanical equipment. Furthermore, integrating power and propulsion allows loads across the ship to be better balanced, so energy can be efficiently distributed to where it is needed most. Flexibility and capacity can be built in too, allowing easier integration of new capabilities. Future Capabilities Provisioning for future power requirements ensures a faster response to emerging threats. We build flexibility and configurability into platforms, ensuring adequate power is available for energy-intensive operations. Assets such as rail guns, radar, lasers, AI, autonomous networks, and detection systems can be seamlessly integrated into platforms, ensuring long-term tactical advantage.
