Abstract:
1. A hybrid electric power system having a hybrid gas turbine (HGT) electrical power plant as one electric power source and a battery pack as another electric power source in combination with a motor drive system as a prime mover for vehicular propulsion comprised of: a) the hybrid gas turbine (HGT) electrical power plant having, b) an electro-mechanical fuel valve for controlling the fuel flow to the combustor, having a fuel inlet supply line from an external fuel source and a fuel exit/discharge in communication with said fuel/air nozzle within the HGT; c) a power electronics package is in communication with said HGT, and said alternator stator output power leads for converting engine output high voltage-high frequency power to useful electrical power and frequency; d) an electronic engine control unit (EECU) having electrical communication with said electro-mechanical fuel valve; e) a throttle box having electrical communication with the said EECU; f) a voltage regulator is in communication with the power electronics package and said EECU; g) the battery pack is in series with the said power electronics package and has communication with said EECU; h) an electrical power source control (EPSC) having communication with said battery pack; and i) at least one electric motor having an output power shaft and in communication with said EPSC and said EECU, wherein said EPSC is used to select said electric power source to drive said at least one electric motor.
