Vehicle-Mounted Gas Turbine Generator Layout for High Power Density
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle-mounted generator sets have low power density and poor output power, requiring multiple units to operate in parallel for high-power demands, and existing high-power gas turbines are large and inflexible, making them unsuitable for rapid transportation and installation.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle-mounted gas turbine generator set is integrated onto a chassis vehicle with a main beam and operator cabin, featuring a high-power gas turbine and generator, along with an electrical system, air intake filter system, ventilation filter system, and exhaust system, optimized for space and mobility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Power
If existing high-power gas turbines are used, then power output is improved, but size and flexibility deteriorate, making them unsuitable for rapid transportation and installation
Solution Approach 1:
The gas turbine generator set is nested within a compact skid-mounted frame structure, with the engine, generator, and auxiliary systems arranged in a space-efficient configuration where components are integrated and overlapping in the vertical direction, enabling high power output in a reduced footprint suitable for rapid deployment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes vertical stacking of components (engine, generator, air intake filter system, exhaust system) to achieve three-dimensional space optimization, allowing high-power components to be arranged in layers rather than spreading horizontally, thus reducing overall footprint while maintaining power output
2Power
If multiple vehicle-mounted generator sets are operated in parallel to meet high-power demands, then power output is improved, but device complexity and installation time worsen
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple generator sets are merged into a single integrated skid-mounted unit with combined engine, generator, fuel system, lubrication system, and exhaust system, eliminating the need for multiple separate units and reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high power output capability
3Power
If multiple vehicle-mounted generator sets are operated in parallel to meet high-power demands, then power output is improved, but installation time worsens
Solution Approach 1:
The generator set is pre-assembled and pre-tested as a complete integrated unit on the skid frame before delivery to the site, with all auxiliary systems (fuel tanks, lubrication, exhaust) pre-installed and connected, enabling rapid deployment upon arrival without requiring on-site assembly or complex installation procedures

AI summary
Embodiments herein provide a vehicle-mounted gas turbine generator set, including: a chassis vehicle, a main cabin body and at least one of an air intake filter system, a ventilation filter system and an exhaust system. The chassis vehicle includes a main beam and an operator cabin. The operator cabin is located at a first side of the main beam in a first direction. The main cabin body defines a main accommodation space. A gas turbine and a generator connected with each other, and an electrical system connected with the gas turbine and the generator, are arranged in the main accommodation space. In a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the main accommodation space is located between the main beam and the at least of the air intake filter system, the ventilation filter system and the exhaust system.
