Two spool gas turbine engines are often used to drive variable speed loads, such as an electric generator, or the fan/propeller of aircraft engines. The gas turbine engine must be designed to withstand transient speed and temperature conditions which are encountered when sudden changes to the load on the generator, fan, or propeller occur. By adding a relatively small motor/generator to the gas generator spool of the gas turbine engine, the compressor speed and airflow can be quickly adjusted to compensate for external load changes. This reduces the severity and duration of the transient conditions, resulting in decreased operation and reliability problems such as overspeed, compressor surge, and high turbine temperature. The motor/generator may also be used as an engine starting device.
