About this award
GE Energy Power Conversion Naval Systems Inc., a subsidiary of General Electric Company, was awarded a $16.2M cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract by the Office of Naval Research on August 14, 2024, to develop, test, and validate an 8-megawatt hybrid modular multilevel converter (HMMC) prototype demonstrator for Navy and marine propulsion applications. The contract, with performance in Imperial, Pennsylvania and an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2027, advances power electronics capabilities to support future naval requirements for low-voltage DC/AC and medium-voltage DC/AC systems. The effort will mature the technology readiness level of the HMMC for propulsion drive applications, building upon power electronics building blocks to enhance naval electric propulsion capabilities.
Two subcontractors support the prime contractor's efforts: Paragon Space Development Corporation, a small business specializing in advanced thermal management technologies, was awarded a subcontract on October 9, 2024, to perform thermal management work; and Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University was awarded a subcontract on the same date to conduct an HMMC feasibility study. The prime contract utilized full and open competition with no small business set-aside designation, consistent with the prime contractor's typical contract award methodology and reflecting the specialized nature of advanced naval propulsion technology development required by the Office of Naval Research.
