Integrated Power System Electric Plant Systems and Analysis Engineering Supervisor - Systems

Overview

Overview

The Integrated Power System (IPS) Directorate supports the development of platforms for the All Electric Navy. This technology is focused on electric drive propulsion, electric power generation, and advanced power systems. This technology is part of the continuing trend in making ships more electric, more capable, and more affordable.

The Integrated Power System Electric Plant Systems and Analysis group responsibilities support submarine system, component performance and the overall capability of the platform to achieve its mission. This support is specialized in power electronics, digital signal processing, embedded controls, electric machines, linear and non-linear system theory, computer modeling and analysis, and power system protections to help integrate these technologies onto submarines.
