Why Choose WE Tech’s Electrification Solutions?

WE Tech’s electrification solutions combine proven permanent-magnet technology, WE Drive™, energy storage and flexible power distribution to deliver practical improvements throughout the vessel.

Our solutions:

Maximise energy efficiency through hybridisation, variable-speed power generation and efficient permanent-magnet propulsion.
Reduce system weight and release valuable onboard space by minimising the need for large switchboards, bulky transformers and other heavy electrical equipment.
Improve operational flexibility, safety and reliability by integrating energy storage, shore connection and other power sources while helping prevent blackouts and ship-wide power failures.
Lower fuel consumption, emissions and noise through more efficient onboard energy use and access to onshore electricity while in port.

The system can be configured for AC, DC, hybrid and fully electric vessel architectures, allowing shipowners to select the level of electrification that best supports their vessel and operating profile.

Core Functions

Producing electrical power

Efficient Power Generation

Electrical power can be generated using fixed- or variable-speed generators according to the selected system architecture. Variable-speed generation allows power production to be coordinated more closely with the vessel’s electrical demand.

Managing power flow

Flexible AC and DC Distribution

WE Drive™ converts and manages electrical power before it is distributed through an AC network, a DC bus or a combination of both. The system directs electricity between propulsion, hotel loads and other onboard consumers.

Connecting sources and consumers

Integrated Energy Use

Permanent-magnet propulsion motors, Energy Storage Systems, shore connection and other power sources can operate within the same coordinated system. Energy can be stored, supplied and used according to the vessel’s operating conditions.

Electrification Solutions

Propulsion for Every Level of Electrification

Our electric propulsion technologies support different vessel requirements, from proven power-distribution arrangements to advanced hybrid and fully electric systems:

Flexible integration with proven power distribution, providing broad freedom in component selection, extensive hybridisation possibilities and efficient permanent-magnet propulsion with low maintenance requirements.

Variable-speed generation with efficient vessel-wide distribution, allowing generator power to become independent of speed and frequency while supporting engine optimisation, reduced system weight and improved use of onboard space.

Fully electric propulsion for quiet, high-efficiency operation, combining optimised energy storage, permanent-magnet motors, advanced power electronics and intelligent control to deliver zero emissions from source to wake.

Energy Storage and Power-Source Integration

A modern vessel no longer needs to depend on a single source of electrical power. WE Tech enables generators, energy storage, shore connection and other power sources to operate within one coordinated system.

Where can the power come from?

Electrical energy can be supplied by fixed- or variable-speed generators, onshore electricity and additional sources such as fuel cells. The appropriate combination depends on the vessel’s architecture and operating profile.

How is the energy stored?

An Energy Storage System can be integrated into the vessel’s power architecture, allowing electrical energy to be stored for later use. While in port, shore connection can supply onboard loads and charge the storage system without running auxiliary engines.

How are the different sources connected?

WE Drive™, advanced power electronics and intelligent control integrate the available sources with the vessel’s AC or DC power system. This allows generators, energy storage and external power sources to operate as parts of the same coordinated architecture.

What does this integration enable?

Combining multiple power sources supports hybrid and fully electric vessel configurations while improving flexibility and reliability. It also creates a platform that can accommodate different levels of electrification as the vessel’s requirements develop.
