Gas Turbine Handbook

Scientific Bulletin of Naval Academy, 2018

The paper encompasses the study of the evolution of the functional parameters (suction air mass flow rate, plant efficiency, etc.) of naval gas turbines propulsion systems at changes in environmental parameters. The operational parameters of a gas turbine propulsion system and their evolution in relation to the modification of the environmental status parameters have been highlighted by calculation. Another sensitive area in the operation of gas turbine installations is the transient operating modes (stopping, starting, accelerating and decelerating sequences of the installation), which were highlighted by determinating of operating parameters on board the ship.

Modern naval combatants appear to be dividing into three distinct ship types: ocean capable patrol-craft, globally deployable combatants, and the developing new class of fast littoral combatant. Each ship type places different and significant demands on the power and propulsion system. This paper describes the technical and operational issues driving the demands on the power and propulsion system including ship speed, un-refuelled endurance, fuel type, on-board maintenance and the new electric mission-systems. Gas turbine powered mechanical-geared systems, gas turbine alternator powered integrated full-electric systems and hybrid mechanical/electrical systems are all examined and their contribution to the success of the system is discussed.
