An electric power system (EPS) may comprise a modular multilevel converter (MMC) and a synchronous generator in electronic communication with the MMC. The synchronous generator may comprise a stator comprising inner slots and outer slots. First, second, and third windings may be disposed in the inner slots configured to receive first, second, and third phase signals, respectively. The first, second, and third windings may each split into two arms, each arm comprising an additional winding disposed in the outer slots of the stator.

A stator for a generator includes a ferromagnetic core with two or more poles arranged about a rotation axis, a direct current (DC) field coil, and four or more alternating current (AC) coils. The DC field coil is wrapped about the pole. A first of the AC coils is wrapped about the pole at a location circumferentially spaced from a second of the AC coils. Generator systems and methods self-exciting synchronous reluctance generators are also described.

A power storage device includes a drive unit, a generating unit, and a power supply unit. The drive unit has a rotating shaft and is disposed in a housing. The rotating shaft is provided with a plurality of first permanent magnets. The housing is provided with a first auxiliary magnet corresponding to the first permanent magnets. Corresponding surfaces of the first permanent magnets and the first auxiliary magnet have the same magnetic pole. Through the repulsive force between the first permanent magnets and the first auxiliary magnet to generate a magnetic levitation effect, the rotating shaft can generate a corresponding rotation and the rotating shaft can be rotated more smoothly to increase its rotational speed and smoothness to improve generating efficiency and reduce electricity consumption.

A propulsive electric motor set for aircraft includes an electrical energy source and an electric motor provided with a drive shaft on which is mounted a propeller. The electric motor includes a first set of windings linked to the electrical energy source to provide a rotational drive function for the drive shaft. The electric motor further includes a second set of windings which, when the drive shaft is driven in rotation by an electric powering of the first set of windings, provides an electric generation function configured to supply non-propulsive loads of the aircraft. Thus, the non-propulsive loads of the aircraft can be electrically powered without any overload compromising the aerodynamics of the aircraft.
