1. A power generating system comprising:

  • a power generator having a field winding for generating field magnetic flux and armature windings for producing power-generating outputs, said power generator for being driven by an engine;

    AC-DC power converting means for rectifying a voltage outputted from each armature winding and supplying said rectified voltage to an electrical load;

    field current control means for controlling a field current supplied to said field winding;

    voltage control means for controlling said field current control means to control each of said power-generating outputs produced from said power generator to be a predetermined value;

    power generation detecting means for detecting a predetermined quantity of power generation related to a state of power generation of said power generator;

    determining means for determining, based on said detected quantity of power generation, an amount of leading phase current to be supplied to each armature winding; and

    leading-phase current control means for starting said supply of said leading phase current to each armature winding or increasing said supply based on said amount determined by said determining means, or stopping said supply of said leading phase current thereto or decreasing said leading phase current based on said amount determined by said determining means.
