About us

The Research, Development & Innovation department is indispensable in the realization of Damen’s ambition to become the most sustainable and digitally connected shipyard in the world. We give support to the business in the development of an innovative product portfolio and offer pro-active advice with the aim to further improve the quality and performance of the Damen products and services.

The RD&I department is divided in four functions, i.e. Research, Development, Programmes and Enabling Technologies. The Development teams support the business with technical consultancy and expert advice and acts as technological conscience in commercial projects. Therefore, they build on the technical knowledge developed by the five Research teams that focus on strategically relevant technology domains.

Damen invests substantially in its own internal R&D projects to develop the required knowledge and technology. Moreover, to enhance our knowledge, skills and capabilities beyond the state-of-the-art, we are very active in collaborative R&D projects with other industry stakeholders as well as academia and knowledge institutes, both nationally and internationally.

The role

The main producers of Common Mode (CM) voltage are the 2-level power electronic converters present onboard a ship, which can function as either Active Front Ends or Inverter Units.

The CM voltages produced by these devices induce CM current that can find their own path through the ships electrical systems back to their source. This path may include sensitive devices which are critical for proper functioning of the vessel.

Therefore, finding the path of CM current and re-directing it through a preferred path or suppressing it through CM chokes are some ways to protect sensitive devices. Thus, the internship will involve determining an optimum solution to reduce the impact of CM current on sensitive devices present onboard a ship.
