Abstract
A generator arrangement includes a stator with armature winding, a rotor with one or more permanent magnets supported for rotation relative to the stator, a variable speed drive, and a control module. The variable speed drive is connected to the rotor for rotating the rotor within a predetermined speed range. The control module is disposed in communication with the armature windings and is operatively connected to the variable speed drive to maintain constant output voltage as load changes by varying rotational speed of the rotor.
