Zusammenfassung:An electric propulsion system includes a prime mover, a starter-motor generator configured to be driven by the prime mover to generate electric power, and an electric propulsion motor, and an integrated generator-motor controller arranged to control the supply of the electric power to the electric propulsion motor in response to a control signal, wherein the integrated generator-motor controller includes an active rectifier configured in a first mode to feed-forward to the starter-motor generator a power demand parameter associated with the control signal so as to control the power output of the starter-motor generator in order to start the prime mover.
