Title:
SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO FACILITATE ENHANCING TURBINE OUTPUT USING AUXILIARY GENERATOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2017078411
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods to facilitate enhancing turbine output using an auxiliary generator.SOLUTION: A gas turbine engine system 1 includes a gas turbine engine 10 with a rotating element 48, at least one primary rotor shaft 38 coupled to the rotating element 48, and a primary generator 30 coupled to the at least one primary rotor shaft. The system further includes at least one auxiliary rotor shaft 36 coupled to the at least one primary rotor shaft, so that the at least one primary rotor shaft causes rotation of the at least one auxiliary rotor shaft. The at least one auxiliary rotor shaft 36 is oriented substantially perpendicularly to the at least one primary rotor shaft. An auxiliary generator 32 is coupled to the at least one auxiliary rotor shaft such that the auxiliary generator is in a parallel configuration to the primary generator 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
