On January 1, China’s first DC-connected electric propulsion system research ship "Shen Kuo Swath" from SES-Tech Powertrain returned to Shanghai Port and successfully completed the maiden voyage scientific research mission: the deepest part of the global ocean-"Challenge A series of deep-sea equipment tests and scientific research sampling were carried out in the trenches near the seas of the Mariana Islands.
The scientific expedition mission lasted more than one month and was located near the challenger abyss of the Mariana Trench, the deepest in the world, and successfully completed the 10,000-meter sea trial of two "Rainbow Fish" second-generation landers and other scientific expedition samples. The work is not only of great significance to the development of my country's deep-sea science and technology, but also a successful verification of the performance superiority and system stability of SES-Tech DC grid electric propulsion system.
The "Shen Kuo" deep sea scientific survey ship is China’s first ship to adopt domestic DC grid electric propulsion technology. The entire power system has reached international standards in terms of product design, dynamic response capability, fault protection, product certification, and test verification. Leading level. The ship has the characteristics of good seakeeping, good mute effect, strong dynamic response ability, energy saving and emission reduction, etc., and is especially suitable for scientific research and other tasks that require high system dynamic response and mute. According to the feedback from the scientific expedition team members on board, compared with previous survey missions to sea, the biggest feeling of taking the Shenkuo this time is "stability".
As the world's only DC network electric propulsion system design and manufacturer that has obtained the China Classification Society's real ship product certification, SES-Tech will continue to leverage the dual advantages of integrators and core equipment manufacturers to provide customers with more practical needs and cost-effective Higher customized solutions.
