Alconza Berango SL wagers for R&D as one of the keys for its development. Thus, we continue to innovate in product enhancement and the generation of new technological solutions. During 2022 we were involved in four HAZITEK projects, which covered different strategic lines of the
TWINPROP
The main objective of this TWINPROP project is to develop a Digital Twin (DT), which virtually replicates a marine propulsion motor in order to both simulate and forecast its behavior. The DT will be built on the basis of data collection from the real motor to be replicated through different types of sensor systems. These data will be processed by Machine Learning techniques and, as a result, predictive information will be used to help in making decisions about motor maintenance.
PROPCOM
The major purpose of the PROPCOM Project is to research, design and develop a new superconducting electrical equipment for naval platforms, which will employ a disruptive superconducting technology that will not only reduce weight and volume by 30% compared to conventional electrical equipment, but will also improve its efficiency and maintainability throughout its whole lifecycle.
PRELUDIO
The scope of PRELUDIO is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the state of the art of electric propulsion applied to air transport, to determine a product range and to develop a conceptual design for a specific application under superconductivity conditions.
adPROM
The adPROM project’s prime mission is to research and develop a new range of scalable electric motors for marine propulsion with high power density, high efficiency and scalable in power and speed, achieving a weight reduction in a sector where weight and efficiency is starting to be a first order matter.
