Integrated Power Systems (IPS)
Abstract
This project supports the development and transition strategy of Navy Power and Propulsion Systems including power generation, power conversion, power distribution, energy storage, power utilization and automation and control functions for fully integrated electric propulsion (such as T-AKE -1 class or DDG 1000 class), hybrid electric propulsion (such as LHD 8 and LHA(R) class), as well as legacy mechanical propulsion ships (such as DDG 51 class). This project supports optimized integration of mission systems, appropriate component and system controls, integration of components and systems into future and current ships, and providing power system solution alternatives to new and existing platforms. Project developments are aligned with the Navy's 30 year shipbuilding plan via the Naval Power Systems Technology Development Roadmap, which outlines the way ahead for future developments and provides a basis for coordinated planning and investment by the Navy and private industry. This project develops and transitions products that increase energy efficiency (and thereby create fewer greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence upon foreign petroleum sources), provide additional power to mission systems, and integrates those components and systems into ship platforms. DON Energy Initiatives - Energy Storage Module (ESM) Increment 1, Advanced Power Generation Module (APGM), and Gas Turbine (GT) Efficiency Upgrades: This project supports the DON Energy Initiative designed to reduce ship energy consumption and increase mission effectiveness through longer time on station. The ESM will achieve fuel savings by de-risking single generator operations. APGM will provide increased power to meet power requirements for advanced sensors and future weapons with reduction in life cycle costs through increased fuel efficiency over legacy gas turbine generator sets. GT Efficiency Upgrades will provide fuel efficiency improvements to existing gas turbine engines for both backfit and new construction ships.
