1. A power generation system, comprising:

  • a fuel source to provide fuel;

    a turbogenerator, coupled to the fuel source, to generate AC power;

    a power controller, electrically coupled to the turbogenerator, including first and second power converters, said first power converter to convert said AC power to DC power on a DC bus, and said second power converter to convert said DC power on said DC bus to an output power to supply a load, said power controller to regulate the fuel to the turbogenerator, independent of a DC voltage on the DC bus; and

    a capacitor coupled to the DC bus, said capacitor to source power to and sink power from the DC bus, due to load changes, to stabilize the DC voltage on the DC bus.
