Electric-based main propulsion provides a great deal of freedom in ship design, and ships can be designed much more efficiently without the traditional limits on equipment layout, due to mechanical restrictions.
Drives for marine winches and cranes
Electrical motors controlled by iC7 drive, provide substantial energy savings and low noise operation. Drives enable excellent speed and tension control and load sharing with several motors driving the same winch.
Drives for marine power conversion and generation
When using drive technology in a shore-supply solution, ships can source clean energy from local grids. The ship’s main generators can be switched off completely to prevent unnecessary local NOx and carbon emissions and noise pollution while the vessel is docked.
Drivers for fast charging
Electric vessels will be the preferred transport of tomorrow. To meet the demands this will put on charging solutions, fast charging needs to become economically viable and available on a mass scale. That way we can start to power a sustainable future.
Drives for marine pumps and separators
iC7 drives control your pumps to match actual process need, leading to reduced energy consumption. Reducing the speed by 20% reduces the power consumption by 50%.
Drives for marine refrigeration compressors
Screw compressors controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD) typically use 15% less energy than traditional screw compressors with slide valve control only.
Drives for marine fans and ventilation
Screw compressors controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD) typically use 15% less energy than traditional screw compressors with slide valve control only.
