Abstract
A system may include an independent speed variable frequency (ISVF) generator and an excitation source configured to provide an excitation signal to rotor field windings of the ISVF generator to produce a rotating magnetic flux that is independent of a shaft speed of the ISVF generator. The system may include a bus configured to receive an output voltage of the ISVF generator. A generator control unit may be configured to generate a first excitation voltage reference component based on a shaft frequency of the ISVF generator, generate a second excitation voltage reference component based on a difference between a reference voltage and a measured output voltage of the ISVF generator, and generate an excitation voltage control signal based on a combination of the first excitation voltage reference component and the second excitation voltage reference component, the excitation voltage control signal usable to control a voltage magnitude of the excitation signal.
