Claim Text:
1. An electric power generation system, comprising: a turbine configured to rotate, a rotational speed of the turbine based at least in part on a flow rate of a fluid flow; a plurality of rotor modules connectively coupled with the turbine via a rotor frame, and collectively configured to generate a magnetic field having at least one characteristic based at least in part on the rotational speed of the turbine; and a plurality of stator modules configured to: wherein each of the plurality of stator modules is removably coupled with a stator frame and comprises: at least one generating coil configured to generate the alternating electric current in response to the magnetic field generated by the rotor modules; and a power electronics module configured to manage the generated alternating electric current and produce a desired magnetically-induced torque that at least partially controls the rotational speed of the turbine, the power electronics module comprising:
