Leading Shaft Generator Solutions

Towards Zero Emission Shipping

Our solutions build on widely proven technologies and are applicable for most ship types and propulsion machinery (e.g. low speed direct driven propeller with 2-stroke Main Engine, or medium speed reduction gear driven propeller with 4-stroke Main Engine). WE Tech’s solutions utilise variable frequency drive technology (WE Drive®), variable speed generator technology, Energy Storage System, and our Dedicated Power Management System.

With our domain expertise, you can get a ship with an energy system built the way it should.

Solutions towards Zero Emission Shipping

WE equip your ship for success.

Our solutions build on widely proven technologies and are applicable for most ship types and propulsion machinery (e.g. low speed direct driven propeller with 2-stroke Main Engine, or medium speed reduction gear driven propeller with 4-stroke Main Engine). 

WE Tech solutions utilise variable frequency drive technology (WE Drive®), permanent magnet generator technology, DC-link power distribution and Energy Management System(EMS).

With our domain expertise, you can get a ship with an energy system built the way it should.

Variable frequency drive technology for generator/motor applications is a compact and robust modular design.

The variable speed permanent magnet generator is lightweight, and compact-sized with the highest efficiency over the full speed and power range. It is virtually maintenance-free. We also offer solutions based on synchronous and asynchronous generator technology.

We use the latest lithium-ion technology from the Energy Storage System (ESS) suppliers. With a DC-DC converter, we integrate the ESS into our solution.

With the Energy Management System(EMS), we control various operation modes of the ship as well as start/stop sequences, etc. The EMS also interfaces with other control systems on board a ship.

Shore power is conditioned for the vessels’ electrical system via the WE Drive®. Vessels become unaffected by the variations in voltages and frequencies of the national power grids worldwide – shore power is always matching.

Fuel Cell Integration via DC/DC conversion to the ship energy efficient power distribution system. Seamless operations utilising Fuel Cells and ESS combinations for zero emission power.
