Demand for electrification technologies and systems (including power electronics, electrical machines, drives, automation and control systems) is growing. This growth is both i) to meet increased demand for electric power in industrial applications including marine, energy, infrastructure and process industry sectors, and ii) to enable reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through higher levels of energy efficiency and integration of cleaner energy sources.\r\rHowever, this growth in electric power demand and the need to incorporate additional hybrid and electric equipment onto more platforms with space constraints means that we have to reconsider power density (we can't just keep adding bigger equipment) and the ability to integrate a power network or micro grid which doesn't add unnecessary complexity or cost.\r\r**This project focuses on GE's and its UK supply base's ability to lead in industrial electrification by both differentiating on power density _and_ competing on cost more effectively.** We will do this by applying novel production techniques and technology used in low voltage (LV), low power, high volume PE, integrating such converter technology within rotating machines (RM) for a transformative impact on system power density and complexity for lower volume but high performance and high-value sectors. There is an identified potential to reduce total system power density by up to 50% and weight by up to 25%, with additional added value creation for customers in freeing up space for operational use and reducing the cost and installation time of ancillary equipment.\r\rAside from specialist industrial niches in which the UK supply chain has a strong history and share, much electrification technology development recently has been targeted at consumer products at lower power but higher volume and lower cost, and supplied outside of the UK. As a growth market, expansion of electrification to more large, high power applications is attractive to the UK supply base in reaching larger niches and markets, but also to global providers, so this is both a time-sensitive opportunity UK industry to improve competitiveness _and_ achieve technology leadership.

电气化技术和系统的需求（包括电力电子，电机，驱动器，自动化和控制系统）正在增长。这种增长既是i），既是i）满足工业应用中对电力的增加需求，包括海洋，能源，基础设施和过程行业领域，以及ii），通过更高的能源效率和清洁能源的整合来减少温室气体（GHG）排放。密度（我们不能仅仅添加更大的设备）以及整合不增加不必要的复杂性或成本的能力。大量PE，将这种转换器技术集成到旋转机器（RM）中，以对较低体积但高性能和高价值扇区的系统功率密度和复杂性产生变革性影响。有一个确定的潜力将总系统功率密度降低多达50％，重量降低25％，并为客户提供额外的增值，从而释放了运营的空间，并减少了辅助设备的成本和安装时间。 英国。作为一个增长市场，将电气化扩展到更大，高力的应用程序对英国供应基础有吸引力，在达到更大的壁ni和市场方面，也对全球提供商有吸引力，因此这既是英国时间敏感的英国企业行业，以提高竞争力_AND_实现技术领导力。
