Generator for producing electric power

摘要

There is described a generator for producing electric power, the generator comprising (a) a generator unit (210, 410', 510, 610) comprising a stator (313) and a rotatably supported rotor, wherein the stator comprises a first set of windings (211, 411', 511, 611) and a second set of windings (212, 412, 512, 612), and wherein the rotor is adapted to induce electrical voltage in the first set of windings and in the second set of windings when the rotor is rotated relative to the stator, the generator further comprising (b) a first converter (220, 421, 522, 622) coupled to the first set of windings, the first converter being adapted to convert alternating voltage in the first set of windings into an output DC voltage, (c) a DC output coupled to the first converter to receive the output DC voltage, and (d) a second converter (230, 430, 532, 632) coupled to the second set of windings and to the DC output, the second converter being adapted to generate control voltages and/or control currents in the second set of windings.
