Research abstract
The objective of the proposed program is to determine the feasibility of a high efficiency, modular Permanent Magnet (PM) Variable Speed Drive (VSD) system intended for use in auxiliary shipboard applications. The proposed system provides the functionality and performance benefits of PM VSDs at a low overall cost. The system is designed to be modular and fully integrated, with a flexibility that will allow the Navy's shipbuilding partners to reduce installation costs. The proposed program will include an analysis of the efficancy of the proposed system against several Navy metrics, including acquisition and life cost, mission effectiveness, standardization and simplification, and flexibility and producibility.
