Danfoss Drives Brings Sustainable Solutions for Modern Shipbuilding to SMM

Global event will feature the iC7-Marine and iC7 Hybrid modules

Danfoss, a global leader in marine electrification, will showcase its latest technologies at the SMM trade fair (Hall B6, Booth 332) in Hamburg, Germany, September 2-6, 2024. With the industry trend of increasing installed power in fixed machine room space, Danfoss has developed new solutions to meet the demand.

The marine industry is rapidly moving toward electrification and battery systems on board are now inevitable. With more standardized BESS designs, vessels require solutions offering modular power scalable sizing. The solution is iC7-Hybrid, the Danfoss power converter solution that ensures modular power systems for battery applications on board. These highly compact modules enable ship owners to effectively increase their installed power without increasing vessel size.

The shaft generator is a crucial element in marine operations. Danfoss offers compact, highly power-dense iC7-Hybrid modules for superior shaft performance even at low speed, in marine shaft generators. These modules give ship owners a highly efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution.

The iC7 series offers emission reduction during all operational modes, as well as meeting the increasing demand for 50/60Hz shore supplies and high-power DC grid chargers. With iC7-Marine and iC7-Hybrid, Danfoss is opening up new marine-dedicated opportunities and taking a proactive approach to meet the 2030 regulation of vessels being powered from shore while berthed in port.

Marine vessels are long-term investments and require flexible designs that can scale with changing regulations. Danfoss understands this need and provides solutions that ensure system design flexibility for ship owners.

“Our new iC7-Marine drives and iC7-Hybrid power converters are a testament to our commitment to driving innovation in the maritime sector,” explained Philipp Fedorov, head of the marine business unit at Danfoss Drives. He continued: “We are excited to present these revolutionary solutions at the SMM Trade Fair 2024, offering our customers the opportunity to enhance efficiency, reduce emissions and embrace sustainable practices in their operations.”
