Abstract
An aspect includes a method of variable cycle compensation in a gas turbine engine. An electric component can be adjusted to compensate for a power change induced by an actuation system by operating the electric component as an electric motor to compensate for an increase in power absorption or a decrease in power production of a turbomachinery of the gas turbine engine. The actuation system is configured to adjust a variable cycle of the turbomachinery by adjusting power absorption or power production, and the electric component can be configured to add or subtract torque to a shaft of the gas turbine engine. The electric component can be operated as an electric generator to compensate for an increase in power production or a decrease in power absorption of the turbomachinery.
