Organized by the ESRDC and Sponsored by ONR 334
6-7 March 2007 The University of Texas, Austin, Texas
Gas turbines and electric generators become smaller and lighter when operated at high rotational velocities.
In addition, power electronics provide an interesting technical alternative to a high speed gear box to produce the desired electrical frequency.
These combinations can be small, light, and efficient enough to be attractive in airplanes, ships, trains, and offshore oil platforms, as well as for transportable emergency power.
These are the systems that are of interest at this workshop. The technical topics of interest for transportable megawatt power systems specifically include:
Power electronics
High speed generators
Gas turbines
Magnetic materials at higher power frequencies
Electrical insulation at higher temperatures and frequencies
Frequency and waveform control
Energy storage
Thermal management
System integration
