What is your challenge?

Meet power management challenges at sea and onshore, with compact liquid-cooled modules that use 40% less space than standard drives. Transform your maritime operations with iC7-Marine liquid-cooled VFDs and iC7-Hybrid converters.

Intelligent drives and power converters
Overcome space restrictions in the electrical room

Solution: Highly compact high-power liquid-cooled modules occupy 40% less space than standard drive modules. 
In Swedish ports, PSW required compact and highly flexible power conversion for onshore power supplies serving berthed cruise ships. 
Balancing the peak power demand, various voltage levels, and frequencies on several ships at the same time is a significant challenge.

The result?  
With its high power density and outstanding ability to react to power system dynamics, iC7-Hybrid provided an ideal basis for a compact build.

iC7-Marine: Aurora Botnia
Reduce risk of downtime caused by unauthorized access to your maritime systems

Solution: Using market-leading hardware-based protection, you can prevent unauthorized access, when connecting to external systems. iC7-Marine with integrated crypto chip ensures end-to-end encrypted data transfer.
Onboard the Aurora Botnia hybrid RoPax ferry, iC7-Marine and iC7-Hybrid liquid-cooled modules fit seamlessly into the hybrid propulsion system to securely regulate 35 MW of power onboard.

The result? 
The secure propulsion system is also highly compliant, already meeting the IMO 2030 GHG emission reduction target.

Simulate your drive or power converter environment
De-risk system design and launch your vessel faster

Solution: Simulate your drive or power converter environment to benefit from fast response time and flexibility in product development. Set sail faster, cut project costs, and gain competitive advantage.
Using digital simulation tools, you can thoroughly test every aspect of an idea (“what-if" scenarios) with no need for physical prototypes, test benches, or travel expenses.

The result?  
Find innovative solutions with highly efficient use of engineering hours.
Cloud-based solutions make simulation easily accessible with no IT infrastructure required.
