REAL-TIME SIMULATION OF AN AUTOMOTIVE GAS TURBINE USING THE HYBRID COMPUTER

A hybrid computer simulation of an Advanced Automotive Gas Turbine Powertrain System is reported. The system consists of a gas turbine engine, an automotive drivetrain with four-speed automatic transmission, and a control system. Generally, dynamic performance is simulated on the analog portion of the hybrid computer while most of the steady-state performance characteristics are calculated to run faster than real-time and makes this simulation a useful tool for a variety of analytical studies.
