Abstract

Electric power generators, generator or generation systems, related methods, and systems and applications including same are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a generator system includes a support structure, a stator, a rotor including each of a direct current (DC) wound field rotor portion having wire windings and a permanent magnet (PM) rotor portion, a slipring system, at least one control device (including rectifier) coupled at least indirectly between the stator and the slipring system, and an output port configured to make available an output power based at least indirectly upon alternating current (AC) power output by the stator when the rotor rotates relative to the stator. The at least one control device is configured to be able to generate, and communicate to the slipring interface system, DC current based at least indirectly upon the AC power output by the stator when the rotor rotates relative to the stator.
