The application relates to systems and methods for reducing effects of torsional oscillation for electrical power generation. Specifically, systems and methods are provided for an aircraft propulsor configured to generate electrical power through a variable frequency generator in response to rotation of a transmission mechanism. The aircraft propulsor includes compensation circuitry. The aircraftpropulsor further includes exciter circuitry that, when powered by an excitation signal, generates a magnetic field that interacts with a rotating variable frequency generator to generate electrical power. The exciter circuitry may be powered by at least a portion of the power generated by the variable frequency generator. The compensation circuitry may adjust the excitation signal to reduce the effect of torsional oscillation of the transmission mechanism and/or the variable frequency generator on the quality of power produced by the variable frequency generator.
