  • ELECTRICAL ENERGY SYSTEM FOR BARRING ROTOR
    Publication number: 20250153855
    Abstract: An example system includes an electrical machine electrically configured to generate electrical energy used by one or more components of a gas-turbine engine; an energy storage system; and a controller electrically connected to the energy storage system and configured to receive electrical energy from the energy storage system, wherein, in response to the gas-turbine engine being shut off, the controller is configured to cause the electrical machine to rotate a rotor of the gas-turbine engine using the energy received from the energy storage system.
    Type: Application

  • ELECTRICAL ENERGY SYSTEM HAVING DIFFERENT AXIAL LENGTHS FOR EFFICIENT POWER GENERATION
    Publication number: 20240243632
    Abstract: An example electrical machine configured to generate electrical energy used by two or more components of a gas-turbine engine is described herein. The electrical machine comprises one or more first stator teeth having a first axial length that support first windings configured to generate a first level of the electrical energy used by a first component of the two or more components. The electrical machine also comprises one or more second stator teeth having a second axial length that support second windings configured to generate a second level of the electrical energy used by a second component of the two or more components, the first axial length different than the second axial length.
