MARINE SOLUTIONS
Like virtually all other industries, ship builders, owners and operators are
seeking innovative ways to increase system reliability, security and efficiency.
Whether you are operating a cruise ships or a war ship, your cargo is precious
and your operating costs are increasing.
AMSC is truly a holistic provider of power solutions. Our capabilities don’t end
with generation, transmission or delivery – our solutions extend to end use. For
the marine sector, our power management, propulsion and defense solutions are
designed to help customers increase system efficiencies, enhance power quality
and boost reliability and security. Our offerings for the marine industry
include:
|
|
|
|
Power Conversion Solutions
Our power conversion systems enable more stable power
supplies for a variety of vessels, from commercial tug boats to navy
warships.
|
 |
Motors and Generators
Employing our proprietary superconductor wire, marine
motors and generators are incredibly compact, efficient and power dense
propulsion systems.
|
|
Degaussing Systems
Employing our proprietary superconductor wire, today’s
naval ships are beginning to employ lightweight and highly efficient 21st
century “cloaking” systems.
|
|
Superconductor Wire & Coils
We offer proprietary wire and coils that are ideally
suited for marine applications, such as motors, generators and degaussing
systems.
|
|
|
|
HTS WIRE
 AMSC’s high
temperature superconductor (HTS) Amperium™ wire conducts more than 100 times
the electrical current of copper wire of similar dimensions. The second
generation (2G) wire is available in both copper (Cu) and brass laminate.
HTS Wire: Compact, Versatile, Efficient, Strong.
|
|
|
|
Brass
Used in high-current AC or DC cable applications, such as
power transmission and distribution, high-capacity Amperium wire offers a
significant increase in the amount of power that can be carried regardless
of voltage. Amperium wire’s unique laminated construction combined with the
dual impedance characteristic of superconductors, allows for the
construction of cables with intrinsic fault current limiting capability.
This provides high capacity under normal conditions and high resistance
during fault conditions. AMSC’s brass laminated superconductor wire provides
high strength and stability with ease of stranding and handling.
|
 |
Copper
Used in power dense coils for applications such as
synchronous motors, generators and magnets, our copper laminated Amperium
wire can dramatically reduce the size and weight of large-scale electrical
equipment. This product provides significantly greater power throughput and
efficiency as well as high strength and stability with outstanding bend
tolerance.

POWER CONVERTERS
 The demand for power
conversion is ever increasing. Major drivers for this rise in demand include
the growth of distributed generation systems and uninterruptible power
supply (UPS) systems, higher system efficiency requirements, and increased
demand for higher levels of power quality and power reliability.
AMSC’s cost-effective power converters have customizable configurations that
enable end users to rapidly develop power systems that will get their
products to market faster and maintain their competitive edge.
PowerModule™ power converters can reduce the cost and cycle time associated
with developing a power conversion system. This reduction in time can
provide earlier revenue realization, taking on additional projects, or
further design refinement. Regarded as a standard, proven building block,
PowerModule power converters have been utilized in thousands of wind
turbines and grid interconnection solutions supporting gigawatts of
renewable power around the world.
PowerModule power converters support a systematic development approach by
reducing the amount of unknown variables. They can be quickly configured to
meet both your hardware and software needs, making them ideal platforms for
evaluating new technologies in power switches, thermal designs and control
strategies. As a result, you can focus on key technology unknowns,
accelerating the development of electric power systems and offering a
cost-effective core component for volume production.

PowerModule PM1000 and PM3000 Series
The AMSC PM1000 and PM3000 power converters are a fully
integrated, intelligent and modular systems that significantly reduce
development costs and time to market for power systems across a wide
spectrum of industries and applications.
PM1000 series -- 150 kW to 500 kW.
PM3000 series -- 500 kW to 1 MW.
|
|
PowerModule System Developer Kits
The AMSC PowerModule System Developer Kit (SDK) provides
users with the ability to unlock the versatility of our PM1000 and PM3000
power converters and rapidly develop and launch numerous custom power system
applications.
Using the PowerVisum™ graphical user interface (GUI), you can quickly
configure, monitor, troubleshoot and command individual power processors in
one or more PowerModule converters using the standard software application
modules for converting AC-DC, DC-DC, DC-AC or AC-AC.
The PowerVisum GUI provides an intuitive interface on your computer for
programming, setting up the converter parameters, passing parameters back to
the user interface for display or calculations, and controlling the system
by the operator. Through the PowerVisum GUI, you can integrate, diagnose and
reconfigure a PowerModule power conversion system in real time.
