Abstract:
A system may include a prime mover configured to provide mechanical energy to the system by spinning a shaft. The system further includes a synchronous AC generator mechanically coupled to the shaft, and an exciter mechanically coupled to the shaft and configured to output a field current for exciting the synchronous AC generator. The system also includes a number of synchronous electric motors electrically coupled to the AC generator and configured to drive one or more mechanical loads. A controller of the system is configured to establish and maintain a magnetic coupling between the synchronous AC generator and the synchronous electric motors by controlling a level of the field current during a ramped increase in rotation of the synchronous AC generator from zero rotational speed. The motors accelerate synchronously with the generator due to the magnetic coupling as the rotational speed of the generator increases.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n a synchronous AC generator configured with output terminals to output electric power to a plurality of synchronous motors electrically coupled thereto; and a controller configured to control the synchronous AC generator to control a magnitude of torque producing current and a magnitude of terminal voltage at the output terminals; the controller configured to control initiation of rotation and ramped acceleration of a rotational speed of the synchronous AC generator from a zero speed condition; the controller further configured to initiate acceleration of the synchronous AC generator from the zero speed condition and increase the magnitude of the torque producing current and control the magnitude of the terminal voltage to magnetically couple the synchronous motors and the synchronous AC generator at a time acceleration from the zero speed condition is initiated.
