This paper discusses the major system design alternatives considered in a comprehensive system study of closed-cycle gas turbine propulsion systems for advanced ship propulsion applications. The general requirements and constraints applicable to propulsion engines for advanced ships were reviewed, and major design variances from the traditional land-based closed-cycle gas turbine power systems were identified. The potential impact of these system requirements and design variances will have on the selection of thermodynamic and mechanical design alternatives applicable to the power conversion system were evaluated, and some trade-off considerations, including the domain of optimal system design, are discussed.
