ABSTRACT:
An electric power starter/generator, for converting electrical energy from a remote dc electrical power source to mechanical energy to start a turbine engine in the start mode, and for converting mechanical energy from the turbine engine to electrical energy to power utilization equipment in the generate mode, comprises a shaft for transferring rotational mechanical energy between the electric power starter/generator and the turbine engine, a permanent magnet synchronous machine having a rotor driveably coupled to the shaft and a stator. The permanent magnet synchronous machine produces polyphase ac electric power when driven as a generator, and rotational mechanical energy when driven as a motor. A bidirectional ac-dc power converter having a dc and an ac input/output produces variable frequency polyphase ac excitation from the dc electrical energy at the dc input/output to drive the permanent magnet synchronous machine as a brushless dc motor to generate rotational mechanical energy to start the turbine engine during the start mode. The power converter alternately produces dc electrical energy from the polyphase ac electrical energy generated by the permanent magnet synchronous machine when driven by the turbine engine during the generate mode.
