Leonardo DRS is advancing the conversation around shipboard energy storage and the role it can play in the future of naval power. Our Principal Systems Engineer Tyler Brauhn presented team’s research paper “Bidirectional Virtual Synchronous Machine Control for Shipboard Energy Storage” at the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) 2026 in Vancouver, Canada. Joined by colleague Daniel Drews, Tyler shared work focused on controls that enable shipboard battery energy storage to support the electrical grid while responding to rapidly changing power demands. This research reflects the depth of engineering across our Naval Power Systems team and our continued contribution to technologies that support the evolving needs of naval platforms. Join us in congratulating Tyler and the paper’s coauthors on this contribution to the power engineering community. #LeonardoDRS #NavalPower #EnergyStorage #PowerElectronics #Engineering #OwnTheEdge
