Design of multi-module experiment-rig of vessel electrical propulsion prime mover

Abstract

Combined power plant is widely used in large or medium surface vessel for its predominant performance. It is important to research on using combined power plant as electrical propulsion prime mover for developing the electric propulsion warship. This paper, designs a multi-module experiment-rig and introduces its composition, working principle and disposition scheme, and carried out the dynamic characteristic experiment of the GTD350 gas turbine.

Keywords
