The gas turbine engine has become a very attractive for use in hybrid vehicles with the recently proven feasibility of the high speed direct drive generator. Advantages over other prime movers include intrinsic low emissions and low specific weight/volume. The possibilities of different engine design configurations are numerous. The effect of these choices has been evaluated by first characterising each particular design and then simulating the entire vehicle system for a standard drive cycle. The design variables which have been varied include the specification of turbomachinery used, influencing the engine pressure ratio, and the choice of whether or not to use a heat exchanger. The most efficient engine configurations incur weight, cost and volume penalties and this has been weighted against the benefits in fuel economy and emissions.
