The present invention relates to a pitch change mechanism for a turbine engine propeller (10) comprising: an electric machine (29) fixedly mounted on a stator portion of the turbine engine and comprising an actuator shaft (21); an axial piston hydraulic pump (20) suitable for pressurising a hydraulic fluid, the hydraulic pump comprising a body (22) driven by the propeller (10); a barrel (23) housing a set of pistons (24) each comprising a sliding block (25); and a plate (26) that is tilted with respect to the axis of rotation, each sliding block bearing on the plate, one of the plate (26) and the barrel (23) being fixedly connected to the stator portion of the turbine engine and the other of the plate (26) and the barrel (23) being fixed to the actuator shaft (21) for conjoint rotation.

In one aspect, a power generation system may include a core turbine engine, an electric generator, an electric motor, and an auxiliary compressor. The core turbine engine defines an axial direction, and may include a compressor and a turbine in serial flow relationship along the axial direction. The electric generator may be operatively coupled to and driven by the core turbine engine. In addition, the electric motor may be in electrical communication with the electric generator for receiving electrical power generated by the electric generator. Furthermore, the auxiliary compressor may be positioned upstream of the compressor of the core turbine engine, and the auxiliary compressor may be rotatable by the electric motor to compress a volume of air to be provided to the compressor of the core turbine engine.

A turbine generator system includes a doubly-fed alternating-current (AC) generator having a first poly-phase circuit (e.g., a stator circuit) and a second poly-phase circuit (e.g., a rotor circuit), a poly-phase AC-to-AC converter circuit coupled between the first and second poly-phase circuits, a poly-phase transformer having input windings coupled to the first poly-phase circuit and having output windings, and a uni-directional rectifier circuit coupled to the output windings of the poly-phase transformer and configured to convert poly-phase AC from the transformer output windings to direct current (DC).
