Design Optimization of a Gas Turbine Engine for Marine Applications: Off-Design Performance and Control System Considerations

This paper addresses a design optimization of a gas turbine (GT) for marine applications. A gain-scheduling method incorporating a meta-heuristic optimization is proposed to optimize a thermodynamics-based model of a small GT engine. A comprehensive control system consisting of a proportional integr...
