Book excerpt: The research study focuses on the idea of simulation of an Integrated FullElectric Propulsion System. The simulation required the development of a gasturbine performance model that could predict the dynamic behaviour of theengine in response to a fluctuation of electrical load. For this purposes it wasnecessary to evaluate the thermodynamic working process of the gas turbineand a computer code was created. A design point model written in FORTRAN77 had been transformed to predict the steady state and transientperformance of a two-shaft gas turbine and single shaft gas turbine. Themodels were based on the thermodynamic law of conservation of mass. Forthe model of the two-shaft gas turbine controls system equations had beenderived from off-design analysis and implemented as handles for operation. Both the models were then transformed to a direct link library for theSIMULINK? package. They were further implemented with an electricalnetwork model to form a high-fidelity prime mover-electrical networkpropulsiondrive interface with which a complete systems analysis was doneto understand the response of the three systems in parallel. In a second part heat exchanger modelling had to be performed so as tocreate a gas turbine model of an intercooled-recuperated engine. This wasdone for the steady state behaviour and sizing problem of heat exchangers. The models were run parallel to the steady state code as a validationexercise. Due to time and project restraints the complete incorporation of themodels with the gas turbine code was not performed and only a uni-directionalsystem of heat exchanger was created. Over all the period of researchparametric studies had been done for comparison of various aspects ofperformance. The high fidelity model of the prime mover-electrical network highlighted thereasons for studying the impact of the propulsion drive and electrical networkload dynamics on the operation of the prime movers and vice versa. The loss-of-propulsion-load scenario case study has demonstrated the capabilities ofthe integrated model, showing clear interactions between the individualsubsystems. The interface can now be used to analyse novel types of gasturbine engines in the future. The method adopted to simulate transientperformance of gas turbines was useful in understanding the impact of bleedair on current and novel cycles. Finally the task of heat exchanger simulationemphasized the need to create better and accurate models to understand theimpact of its behaviour on the gas turbine.
