This paper discusses the use of electro-mechanical devices as the kinematic portions of a microprocessor based gas turbine control system. Specific applications are: 1. An electric motor driven positive displacement pump, which provides metered high pressure fuel to the distribution manifold. Fuel metering to be provided by varying the motor angular velocity; 2. An electric motor driven lube oil pump; 3. Electromechanical actuators for motion and control of compressor and power turbine variable geometry; 4. A starter/generator integral with the gas generator. Topics covered include: Comparison to conventional hydromechanical systems; Response characteristics of the fuel pump and actuator systems; Brushless D.C. motor characteristics; Power electronics requirements for brushless D.C. motors; Control electronics interface with brushless d.c. motor systems; Reliability and maintainability issues; Diagnostic/prognostic enhancements.
