GE - Model IFEP -Naval Electric Power and Propulsion Solutions
Integrated full electric power and propulsion (IFEP) solutions provide the greatest flexibility in vessel layout, power scalability and maintainability. Without having a fixed mechanical drive shaft through the ship, powerful electric propulsion motors can be located around the vessel to help maximize available space and separation for improved survivability
The Ship’s Electric Grid is hugely versatile, and electric drive ships are just as suited to smaller, lower voltage, more commercial-spec ships in naval and coastguard fleets as to the biggest, higher voltage combat ships. Both are able to combine power for propulsion and on-board equipment in one system.
IFEP solutions are ideal to help future-proof growing power demands across the ship’s life, including for high-energy combat systems, and to ‘plug-in’ future technology, for example of clean energy sources.
