Turboelectric_Generator

class Turboelectric_Generator(*args, **kwarg)

Bases: Converter

A Turboelectric_Generator propulsion system model that simulates the performance of a Turboelectric_Generator engine.

tag

Identifier for the shaft engine. Default is ‘turboshaft’.

Type:

str

turboshaft

Turboshaft component. Default is the Turboshaft Class.

Type:

Component

generator

Generator component. Default is DC_Generator Class.

Type:

Component

gearbox

Gearbox data structure. Default is None.

Type:

Component

inverse_calculation

Flag that determines the how calculations are performed. Default is False

Type:

Component

Notes

The Turboelectric_Generator class inherits from the Turboshaft class and implements methods for computing Turboelectric_Generator engine performance. Unlike other gas turbine engines that produce thrust, a Turboelectric_Generator engine’s primary output is shaft power, typically used to drive a helicopter rotor or other mechanical systems.
