This is a sample of the analysis of alternative studies conducted for the propulsion plant. Based on this and other similar studies, we decided to use the LM6000 and two LM2500+ gas turbines as our main operating generators and chose the Allison 501-K34 to be used for backup and auxiliary steaming.
