Our Technologies
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). With our help, you can get a ship with an energy system built the way it should.
WE Tech solutions utilise variable frequency drive technology (WE Drive™), variable speed generator technology, energy storage system, and our Dedicated Power Management System.

WE Drive™
Variable frequency drive technology for generator/motor applications is a compact and robust modular design. The WE Drive™ is either air or liquid cooled. Power range is from 0.5 MW to 6 MW in low voltage applications.
Variable Speed Generator
The variable speed permanent magnet generator is lightweight, 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.
Energy Storage Solutions
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.
Shore Power Solution
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.
Dedicated Power Management System (DPMS)
With the dedicated power management system, we control various operation modes of the ship as well as start/stop sequences, etc. The DPMS also interfaces with other control systems on board a ship.
