INTEGRATED TURBOSHAFT ENGINE

摘要

A system includes an engine coupled with a primary shaft that drives a first electric generator for generating electrical power via a gear subsystem, The system also includes a turbocharger assembly having at least one gas turbine engine configured for driving the primary shaft and coupled in parallel with the engine. The turbocharger assembly includes multiple compressors configured to provide a flow of compressed fluid into both the engine and the at least one gas turbine engine and multiple turbines configured to utilize exhausts from both the engine and the one gas turbine for driving the primary shaft. Further, the system includes a controller configured to operate a plurality of valves for controlling optimal intake fluid pressure into the engine and the turbocharger assembly and fuel injections into the engine and the at least one gas turbine engine.
