    摘要: Disclosed herein is an integrated power generation and load driving system, comprising in combination a multi-shaft gas turbine engine comprising a high-pressure turbine mechanically coupled to an air compressor; and a low-pressure turbine, fluidly coupled to but mechanically separated from the high-pressure turbine and mechanically coupled to an output power shaft wherein the output power shaft is connected to a shaft line an electric generator, mechanically coupled to the shaft line and driven into rotation by the gas turbine engine a rotating load, mechanically coupled to the shaft line and driven into rotation by the gas turbine engine a load control arrangement, configured for controlling at least one operating parameter of the rotating load to adapt the operating condition of the rotating load to process requirements from a process, whereof the rotating load forms part, while the low-pressure turbine and the electric generator rotate at a substantially constant speed.
