Abstract

A method for operating an electromechanical generator is provided, the method comprising: determining a magnetic field reference parameter based on an electromagnetic power reference representing a desired output of the electromechanical generator, determining a scaling factor for adjusting an air-gap magnetization level of the electromechanical generator to reduce loss in operating the electromechanical generator, modifying the magnetic field reference parameter with the scaling factor; and operating the electromechanical generator based on at least the modified magnetic field reference parameter.
