Abstract
An electrical DC generation system is disclosed. According to one aspect, a system for electrical DC generation includes an electrical machine having multiple stator windings and multiple rectifiers for connection to portions of the stator windings. At least one active rectifier and at least one passive rectifier are connected in series to form a DC bus having a positive terminal and a negative terminal, where the positive terminal of the DC bus is connected to a positive output terminal of the electrical machine and where the negative terminal of the DC bus is connected to a negative output terminal of the electrical machine. The at least one active rectifier is used to control a current flowing through the DC bus and/or an output voltage of the electrical machine.
