Rolls-Royce turbo-generators efficiently convert steam
energy to electricity and have been installed on all
UK nuclear submarines and a number of surface ships.
Turbo generators provide the electrical power for the
nuclear submarine
Designed for supportability from the outset, COTS components
have been adopted where appropriate and many components
like pumps, motors and valves are inter-changable which
reduces the spares holding.
Features and benefits
- Up to 40MW power output
- Low noise and vibration
- Robust and proven design
- Shock resistant
- Self-contained with integrated control system
- Low through-life costs
Turbine and generator are mounted on a single baseplate
for ease of installation and to minimise noise and vibration.
Multiple control valves are used to maximise part load
efficiencies. Control is through a modularised hydraulic
or an all-electric system.
