Zusammenfassung:Turbine engine systems (200) equipped with a fuel deoxygenation system (240) and turboelectric power system (220) are provided. In one aspect, a turbine engine system (200) includes a turboelectric power system (220) having an electric generator (224) operatively coupled with a gas turbine engine (220). A fuel line (230) provides fuel to the gas turbine engine (220). A fuel deoxygenation system (240) is positioned along the fuel line (230) for reducing an amount of oxygen in the fuel. A main fuel pump (254) is positioned downstream of the fuel deoxygenation system (240) along the fuel line (230). An electric motor (252) drives the main fuel pump (254). An electric generator (224) of a turboelectric power system (220) is operatively coupled with the gas turbine engine (210) and generates electrical power. The electrical power is provided to the electric motor (252) and the fuel deoxygenation system (240). Heat is recovered from the turboelectric power system (220) and the electric motor (252) and is imparted to fuel provided to the gas turbine engine (210).
