Abstract
A hybrid electric propulsion system may include an independent speed variable frequency (ISVF) generator coupled to an alternating current (AC) bus via a first switch. The system may further include a variable frequency independent speed (VFIS) motor coupled to the AC bus via a second switch, the system omitting circuitry to perform a full-power rated power conversion between the ISVF generator and the VFIS motor. The system may also include an alternating current direct current (AC/DC) converter coupled to the AC bus via a third switch. The system may include a battery coupled to the AC/DC converter.
