General Electric’s Power Conversion business has proposed its Integrated Full Electric Propulsion (IFEP) system for the Indian Navy’s upcoming aircraft carrier. This advanced propulsion system promises enhanced efficiency, survivability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional propulsion methods.
GE’s IFEP system employs a dual electric motor configuration for each drive train, paired with VDM25000 power converters equipped with three independent channels.
This design offers high redundancy and flexibility, allowing the system to operate in various power modes to optimize efficiency.
The company highlights that this technology can significantly improve vessel safety, reduce operational costs, and provide greater flexibility in ship design. GE’s AIM drive train, previously selected for a destroyer project, has demonstrated its capabilities and is being considered for further applications in the Indian Navy.
As the Indian Navy seeks to modernize its fleet with cutting-edge technology, GE’s IFEP system presents a compelling option for powering future aircraft carriers.
