The present disclosure is directed to turbine engines and systems for active stability control of rotating compression systems utilizing an electric machine operatively coupled thereto. In one exemplary aspect, an electric machine operatively coupled with a compression system, e.g., via a shaft system, is controlled to provide shaft damping for instability fluctuations of the pressurized fluid stream within the compression system. Based on control data indicative of a system state of the compression system, a control parameter of the electric machine is adjusted to control or change an output of the shaft system. Adjusting the shaft system output by adjusting one or more control parameters of the electric machine allows the compression system to dampen instability fluctuations of the fluid stream within the compression system. A method for active stability control of a compression system operatively coupled with an electric machine via a shaft system is also provided.

A power transfer system includes a series of energy storage modules (ESMs) or energy storage devices (ESDs) that are coupled together to be able to transfer power between one another, as well as receive power from a power source, such as an onshore power generator. The energy storage modules may be hybrid energy storage modules, each including an electrical-machine-inertial energy store and an electro-chemical energy store. The energy storage modules are configured to receive constant-current DC or AC input from the power source, and are able to provide constant-current and constant-voltage output, either sequentially or simultaneously. The power transfer system allows the modules to operate independently or in conjunction with one another, should some of the connections of the system be broken. The energy storage modules may be used to provide power to underwater systems, for example sonar systems, weapons systems, or underwater vehicles.
