1. A power generating system comprising:

  • storage means for storing electrical energy therein;

    a synchronous power generator having a rotor for producing field magnetic flux and a stator with armature windings disposed thereon to produce a power-generating voltage;

    AC-DC power converting means for rectifying a power-generating voltage outputted from said armature windings as generated power and supplying at least a first portion of said generated power to said storage means; and

    control means for adjusting said power-generating voltage produced by said synchronous power generator to a first voltage for charging said storage means and a predetermined second voltage different from said first voltage;

    wherein said control means is connected to said AC-DC power converting means and is further for receiving at least a second portion of said generated power from said AC-DC power converting means and for supplying said at least a second portion of said generated power as a leading phase current preceding in phase a phase voltage to said each armature winding when said control means adjusts said power-generating voltage to at least said second voltage.
