An electric power generation system of a ship and a method in an electric power generation system of a ship. The system comprising one or more generators for producing electrical energy, each generator being driven with a corresponding prime mover. In the system, the generators are multiphase AC generators adapted to generate multiphase voltage and the phase outputs of the generators are connectable to a common multiphase bus for distributing the electrical energy generated by the AC generators, the generated multiphase voltage having a frequency, wherein the system further comprises means adapted to provide an adjustable frequency reference for the generated multiphase voltage and the frequency of the generated voltage is adapted to follow the adjustable frequency reference.
