With their unparalleled high efficiency, synchronous motors will play a key role in the energy transition, not only by decreasing the losses, but also by their contribution to applications such as hydrogen, energy storage and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). They can also provide stabilizing effects to a renewable-heavy electrical grid with their ability to produce reactive power.
ABB is the market’s leading supplier of synchronous motors and generators. All over the world our synchronous motors deliver high performance in industrial processes, the marine and offshore sectors, utilities, and specialized applications.
ABB's synchronous motors for marine applications are optimized for propulsion of cruisers and carriers. Both conventional and propulsion system motors are available, and the proven design has delivered extremely good performance, high efficiency and reliability in different types of marine installations. The motors are mainly used with variable speed drives.
