1. A power generation system, comprising:
- a generator;
a power electronics device coupled to the generator and comprising first and second power application connectors, the first power application connector configured to be coupled to a first power demand, and the second power application connector configured to be coupled to a second power application wherein the second power application is connected to a second power demand, the second power demand being different from the first power demand; and
wherein a power transformation of the first power application to meet the first power demand via the power electronics device is independent of the generator.

Abstract
A power generation system is provided that includes an internal combustion engine configured to provide rotational mechanical energy. A generator is configured to receive the rotational mechanical energy and generate electrical power in response to the rotational mechanical energy. A fluid medium is provided to the internal combustion engine and to the generator for removing thermal energy from the internal combustion engine and from the generator.

17. A method for generating power, comprising:
-
providing a generator system comprising a generator having a power output connector; coupling the power output connector to a first power application, the first power application comprising a first power demand; activating the generator to provide a first power component to meet the first power demand; monitoring the first power demand of the first power application; receiving an indication that the first power demand has changed to a second power demand different from the first power demand; notifying the generator system of the indication; after the notifying, performing one of the following tasks;
maintaining the first power component to meet the second power demand, or modifying the first power component to a second power component to meet the second power demand, the second power component being different from the first power component; andwherein the first and second power components comprises different power density outputs.
