North Sea Giant, one of the world’s largest and most advanced subsea construction vessels (OSV), has installed an innovative cost-saving solution, based on a unique Electronic Bus Link (EBL) from Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch.
Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch has signed a contract to provide 16 DC-Hubs and 32 frequency converters for a revolutionary new shuttle tanker concept developed by Teekay and Wärtsilä.
RenewableEnergyWorld.com’s Graham Jesmer paid a visit to our facility in Hudson, NH to hear more about our history and find out more about the power converters we’re developing for emerging applications like waste-to-energy.
Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch is currently ramping up production in its Lappeenranta factory for the world’s largest direct-drive permanent magnet shaft generator (PMSG). The first order for 16 machines, each with a power output of over 4 MW, will be installed in next-generation dry cargo container vessels. The design of this giant PMM2000M…
System integrators face many more complex requirements and challenges with today’s increasingly versatile and comprehensive systems for propulsion and the production of onboard electricity. As a result, system integration must now start much earlier. This means information on system components must be available earlier, especially in the case of unfamiliar new technologies and solutions that…
Electric & Hybrid Marine Virtual ‘Live’ Asbjørn Halsebakke from Yaskawa Environmental Energy / The Switch highlights the trending developments in marine power electronics. This includes looking into how to tackle the challenges when electrifying large-scale projects in marine, such as hybrid or fully electric vessels where redundancy and safety must be the greatest…
– hosted by Turbomachinery International With high-speed electrical motors, there is a clear gap between running applications below 200 kW with induction or permanent magnet machines and other applications developed in-house that run at multi-megawatt powers. This webinar, hosted by Turbomachinery International, takes a look at how solid-rotor technology extends the capabilities of standard induction…
Patrik Holm If you’re considering a shaft generator or propulsion motor for your vessel design, you already know you’ll be saving on fuel consumption, improving efficiency, and complying with the current EEDI and EEXI emission limits. With an electric machine on the shaft line, we face new considerations in shaft line dimensioning. The bearings in…
