Optimised Electric System Architecture
Lead Participant:
GE ENERGY POWER CONVERSION UK LIMITED
Abstract
This 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.
