102436Optimised Electric System ArchitectureClosedCollaborative R&DInnovate UKThis joint initiative between GE, the University of Warwick and the University of Nottingham is focusing on innovation in the field of marine energy and power systems. The consortium draws on key strengths i.e. GE’s UK engineering talent, Whetstone testing and Rugby manufacturing facilities combined with University of Warwick’s expertise with motors and University of Nottingham’s analytics. The project’s outcome is an optimised electric system with DC architecture, energy storage and high power-density motor with innovative cooling to benefit major naval programmes, both in the UK and abroad.
