Patent ID: 7863766

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a generator to receive mechanical energy from a turbine to provide a plurality of isolated power outputs directly to power stages of a power converter, wherein the generator includes a rotor and a stator, the stator having a plurality of slots each having at least one coil wrapped there around, wherein the generator is to provide up to S isolated power outputs, wherein S is at least equal to PÂ·n, where P is the number of phase output lines of the power converter and n is the number of power stages coupled in series to one phase output line, wherein the stator includes a first pair of slots having a first coil wrapped therearound, a second pair of slots having a second coil wrapped therearound, and a third pair of slots having a third coil wrapped therearound, wherein each of the first, second and third coils are isolated and connected to provide isolated three phase power to a first power stage, and a first side of the first, second and third coils are connected together and a second side of the first, second and third coils are connected to inputs of the first power stage.
