Claim:
1. A generator for producing electric power, the generator comprising: a generator unit comprising a stator and a rotatably supported rotor, the stator having a first set of windings and a second set of windings, and wherein the rotatably supported rotor is configured to induce electrical voltage in the first set of windings and in the second set of windings when the rotatably supported rotor is rotated relative to the stator; a first converter coupled to the first set of windings, the first converter being configured to convert alternating voltage in the first set of windings into an output DC voltage; a DC output coupled to the first converter to receive the output DC voltage; and a second converter coupled to the second set of windings and to the DC output, the second converter being configured to generate control voltages and/or control currents in the second set of windings.
