The Fusion of Electrical Machines and Marine Power Systems.

A power system that you’ve never seen before. Nick will be providing insight into tomorrow’s technology, promising compelling advantages for future warships, operators and shipbuilders alike. Nick will discuss how this rapidly emerging technology could eradicate the need for main switchboards and drives in future naval electrical power systems. By simplifying the electrical network, these “Halo” machines and mesh networks could dramatically reduce network footprint, size and weight, contributing to network availability and resilience. These high-power density machines, combined with a potential step change in signatures, releases redundancy and resilience that has been trapped inside electrical machines for more than a century. Additionally, solid state mesh networks, without using separate switchboards facilitates the dynamic re-routing of electrical power offering, a potentially self-healing and autonomy-ready network.
