The power system of the 168 ship adopts the internationally popular "diesel combined power" power system. One of the major features is the large air filter window unique to the gas turbine warship around the ship's chimney.

The main engine of the ship is the DA/DN80 gas turbine produced in Ukraine. my country has introduced patents and started the process of localization of this aircraft. The DA/DN80 gas turbine was produced in 1995. It has a total length of 4.6 meters, a weight of 16 tons, a rotation speed of 3000-3600 rpm, a maximum power of 26680.5 kilowatts, and a thermal efficiency of 36.5%. It is currently the most advanced in the world except the American WR-21. similar hosts.

However, since the aircraft has only been put into production for 10 years and has been installed on ships for a short time, its service life and maintenance time are comparable to those of older models such as the American LM2500 and the British "Spey". There is still a certain gap.

One of the ship's auxiliary engines is the imported MTU20V956TB90 diesel engine. Although its performance is not very advanced, it has been basically domestically produced, has high reliability and is "easy enough to use."
