In a GTE propulsion installation, the typical control system is designed to perform which of the following three functions?

Correct Answer: Option B — operational control, safety control, and monitoring

Marine gas turbine control systems are engineered to manage the engine through three primary pillars: operational control (regulating power and speed), safety control (monitoring parameters to prevent catastrophic failure), and monitoring (providing real-time data for operator awareness). These functions ensure reliable propulsion and protect the integrity of the turbine components.
