The modelling of the energy conversion in the marine electric generating set: gas turbine engine - synchronous generator

Abstract

A mathematical description of the energy conversion and transmission occuring in the marine electric generating set, comprised of gas turbine engine, synchronous generator and its control systems, is presented. The set structure is decomposed and its variables systematized. Power processes in the set are considered as macro-dynamic phenomena and engine-to- consumer energy flow is assumed continuous. A model structure is made suitable for its verification on the basis of measurements during full scale experiments. A purpose and applicability of the model is highlighted.
