SatCon awarded Navy contract
Boston-based SatCon was awarded a Phase 1 Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contact from the U.S. Navy to develop insulation technology for advanced propulsion motor designs for future "all-electric" ships.
New insulation techniques are required to balance the increasing voltage and thermal stresses associated with the move to more high-power applications of pulse width modulation-driven electric machinery, and in particular those with permanent magnet machinery.
SatCon, which specializes in electric machinery development, intends to develop new motor design solutions that will enable higher power density, affordable manufacturing capability, and increased reliability compared with current practices. The results of the research will also have direct commercial implications to SatCon's electric drive and generation systems for the alternative energy market wherever power density and efficiency of the electromechanical power conversion process is necessary.
SatCon has operations in Marlboro.
