雅虎香港財經 General Electric (GE) Arm Clinches IFEP Contract in Singapore
General Electric Company’s GE arm, GE Power Conversion (a unit of the company's GE Vernova business), recently secured a deal from a shipbuilding company, ST Engineering Marine Limited. Per this deal, GE Power Conversion will provide Electric Grid with Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) equipment for six ships under the Republic of Singapore Navy’s (RSN) Multi-Role Combat Vessel (MRCV) project.
Based in Singapore, ST Engineering Marine Limited is a well-recognized integrated engineering company, which primarily serves customers across shipbuilding, ship repair and conversion of commercial vessels markets. Its operations are spread across various nations in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Middle East.
Equipped with GE Vernova’s state-of-the-art electric grid, the six MRCVs will be RSN’s first IFEP-powered vessels that will replace the mechanical drive Victory-class missile corvettes fleet.
The company will be responsible for providing the electric grid package that includes generators, transformers, medium-voltage switchboards, electric propulsion motors, propulsion variable frequency drives, thruster motors, soft starters, propulsion control system, power management system and a shore power connection. As noted, the electric propulsion systems for the new ships are planned to be delivered over the coming 10 years.
GE Vernova’s advanced electric grid is designed to supply electrical power to the ship’s propulsion and optimizes its operational systems, including radar and communications. GE’s electric grid is capable of delivering electric power to any desired load on a ship’s power network and makes the propulsion system more energy-efficient.
