Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator (SEAJET) Propulsion Powering Study
The Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator (AESD), referred to at SEAJET, is an advanced surface ship model utilized by the US Navy in testing and evaluating advanced electrical propulsion concepts. SEAJET is operated in Lake Pend Oreille, at the Navy’s Acoustic Research Detachment, located in Bayview, ID.
SEAJET currently has the capability of supporting quiet mode, or battery energized, operations in support of making acoustic measurements of candidate propulsor concepts. Currently, quiet mode operations are restricted in duration due to the limited amount of battery energy storage currently available on SEAJET. Our research develops candidate energy storage options which can be used for extending quiet mode operations on SEAJET. Options considered must be able to be installed, mounted, and operated within the existing SEAJET constraints, and must be able to interface with the existing SEAJET control, powering and cooling systems.
