In-line shaft generators
ABB shaft generator solutions are fully marine certified. The ABB permanent magnet shaft generators are optimized for converter control and enable better efficiency than either induction or electrically excited synchronous machines at both full and partial loading.
Efficiency and reliability with fewer emissions
ABB's latest in-line permanent magnet shaft generator offers shipbuilders and operators enhanced efficiency, performance, and reliability.
By cutting CO₂ emissions, it supports compliance with IMO's EEDI and EEXI standards. Designed for easy integration across various vessel types - like bulk carriers, container ships, LNG tankers, and ferries - it delivers up to 4% fuel savings and significant emission reductions.
Optimized for converter control, it outperforms induction and synchronous machines at all loads, while its compact, lightweight design reduces system footprint by around 20%.
