The icebreaker's capacity will be 120 MW

MOSCOW, June 21. /TASS/. The Krylov Center has started developing an electric propulsion system for the Leader nuclear icebreaker with a shaft capacity of 120 MW. This was announced in an interview with TASS by Oleg Savchenko, Director General of the Krylov State Research Center (KGNC).

"We <...> have already started developing an electric propulsion system for the Leader nuclear icebreaker with a shaft capacity of 120 MW," he said.

"We consider participation in the IMMS to be a strategically important event that provides ample opportunities for demonstrating the most significant ideas and developments, and we try to expand the range of demonstrated works and services. This time, a significant segment of our exhibition is devoted to the development of electric propulsion systems for ships and individual elements of these systems. A significant breakthrough in this area is associated with the implementation of the Krylov Center of work on the creation of an electric propulsion system for a nuclear icebreaker of the "Arctic" type of project 22220 with a capacity of 60 MW, a huge experience has been accumulated in the process of acceptance tests of the lead vessel, provided by our specialists, " Savchenko said.

"Today, according to the results of the tests, we are providing the system for serial icebreakers of this project and have already started developing an electric propulsion system for the Leader nuclear icebreaker with a shaft capacity of 120 MW," the head of the KGNC said.

"We consider our developments on electric propulsion systems promising for implementation on some types of warships, including in connection with the development of the Navy's activities in the Arctic. In particular, we present the results of the work on the creation of a high-power screw-steering column with an electric motor in the gondola. This is an analogue of the well-known "Azipod" (thruster), but completely based on the original domestic technical and technological solutions, " Savchenko said.
