A power generating system provides high voltage AC power and low voltage
DC power using a single generator. The generator includes a rotor and a
stator that is wound with a first winding and a second winding. The first
winding has a greater number of turns than the second winding and
generates high voltage AC power in response to the rotating magnetic
field created by the rotor. The second winding generates low voltage AC
power in response to the rotating magnetic field created by the rotor.
The low voltage AC power is converted to low voltage DC power by a
rectifier. The low voltage DC power is further controlled by a DC-DC
converter to generate controlled DC power. A controller monitors the DC
power generated by the DC-DC converter, and generates pulse width
modulation signals that are provided to the DC-DC converter, selectively
increasing or decreasing the controlled DC power provided by the DC-DC
converter.
