1. A method for generating and regulating power by means of at least one controlled permanent magnet machine (PMM) with a permanent magnet (PM) rotor and a stator with a magnetic circuit that diverts flux within the stator for controlling the output of the PMM, comprising the steps of:

  • rotating the PM rotor at a velocity sufficient to develop an alternating current (AC) power output from the stator;

    transforming the AC output from the stator to produce a desired power output that has a frequency less than the AC power output from the stator;

    sensing desired power output parameters;

    generating a control signal responsive to the sensed parameters; and

    applying the control signal to the magnetic circuit that diverts flux within the stator to control the desired power output.
