Patent ID: 7327047

Claim:
A gas turbine power generator system, comprising: a gas turbine engine; a power generator connected to the gas turbine engine so as to be driven by the gas turbine engine; an engine control unit for controlling an operation of the gas turbine engine; a battery system; and a power control unit for controlling the engine control unit according to a demand from a user system, and for controlling flow of electric power from the power generator to the battery system and from the power generator and battery system to the user system; wherein the power control unit is configured such that upon increase in the demand from the user system the engine is accelerated to a level required to meet the increase in the demand and feeding a supplementary electric power from the battery system to the user system while the gas turbine engine is being accelerated, the supplemental electric power being given by adding an added electric power to a difference between a current output of the power generator and the increased demand of the user system.
