Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas turbine engine system for turbine deceleration during shutdown procedures.SOLUTION: The gas turbine engine system (100) includes a rotor (170) extending through a turbine (160), a generator (180) engaged with the rotor (170), and a starting system (210) in communication with the rotor (170). The starting system (210) reverses the operation of the generator (180) so as to apply torque to the rotor (170) during the shutdown procedures.
