The present subject matter is directed to systems and methods for interfacing variable speed generators to a power distribution grid. A plurality of doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) are provided and coupled to a common shaft of a prime mover. Each of the plurality of DFIGs provides an electrical power output having an output frequency based on a rotational speed of the common shaft. A converter coupled to each DFIG provides variable excitation signals to its respective DFIG sufficient to adjust its output frequency to conform to a power grid frequency requirement.
