Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect, a power generation system may include a core turbine engine, an electric generator, an electric motor, and an auxiliary compressor. The core turbine engine defines an axial direction, and may include a compressor and a turbine in serial flow relationship along the axial direction. The electric generator may be operatively coupled to and driven by the core turbine engine. In addition, the electric motor may be in electrical communication with the electric generator for receiving electrical power generated by the electric generator. Furthermore, the auxiliary compressor may be positioned upstream of the compressor of the core turbine engine, and the auxiliary compressor may be rotatable by the electric motor to compress a volume of air to be provided to the compressor of the core turbine engine.
