Electrification for vessels

We recognize that new solutions are needed to manage the pressure on our environment. Our goal is to enable a safe, smart, and sustainable world with technologies that reduce energy consumption, eliminate emissions in industry, infrastructure and transport, and improve the quality of life.

A clear route to decarbonization

Electrical solutions and their role on ships have been known for many years and are part of ship design, including diesel-electric propulsion, shaft generators, hybrid and now fuel cells. This capability now offers a clear route to decarbonization.


By integrating or upgrading electrical solutions into ship design, a ship's propulsion system becomes more flexible - at its simplest, the internal combustion engine can run at its optimum regardless of the fuel being used, and the ship can operate emission-free using only battery energy. 

With peak shaving you avoid peaks in energy consumption that are inefficient, unnecessary, and costly. Fluctuating energy demand is strenuous for energy assets like generators and grid connections. Our batteries clip these peaks, resulting in significant savings.

Integrating Peak Savings

The solution is adapted for managing highly variable load peaks, without polluting emissions. Reducing the installed capacity also reduces fuel costs, operating costs, and maintenance costs. Additionally, peak shaving allows energy production to be scaled according to the ship's nominal operating needs, and not to the worst-case operating scenario. Due to the solution proposed by Global Electrical Solutions, the installed diesel power can be as much as halved, energy efficiency is improved, and maintenance costs reduced. For a ship refit, integrating peak shaving into the existing installation optimizes the efficacy of a hybrid fossil/electric propulsion system.

Torque Motors or PMSM

A permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) is a direct drive motor that directly drives the application. These motors are also called torque motors. These motors avoid the use of a transmission or gearing. This drastically reduces the amount of moving parts in a system, increasing efficiency and creating quiet and dynamic operation. Thus, the direct drive mechanism ensures a long service life.

Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Motors 

Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Motors require lower torque to accelerate the motor than gear motors. They have a lower torque "inertia ratio". A Direct Drive Motor can be used for a variety of applications. Such as applications where high positioning accuracy is required. Butalso when a motor with a small size and low weight is needed. Or when minimum power combined with optimal speed control are desired.


Furthermore, Directly Driven Motors can also be supplied as a frameless motor. This means that the motor has no frame, housing, bearing or feedback system (servo). This allows system suppliers to place the motor in their own system and thus avoid the need for an additional interface. This, of course, lowers the cost of this motor.
