Claim:
1. A variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) power generator, comprising: a rotating direct current (DC) power source; a rotating multi-phase generator main field winding assembly to generate a rotating alternating current (AC) power; a rotating inverter configured to control an alternating current (AC) multi-phase generator field winding assembly in response to output AC power generated by the VSCF power generator and DC power from the rotating DC power source; at least one generator main field sensor configured to output a generator main field feedback signal based on the rotating AC power applied to the rotating multi-phase generator main field winding assembly; a stationary multi-phase generator armature winding assembly configured to output constant voltage constant frequency AC power controlled by the rotating AC power; and an electronic rotating power line communication (PLC) controller in signal communication with the at least one rotating generator sensor, and configured to generate at least one control signal that adjusts the rotating AC power based on the rotating generator feedback signal, wherein the output AC power is controlled by adjusting the rotating AC power.
