For damping torsional oscillations of an electric a.c. generator, a speed-sensing member, for example a tachometer-generator, is connected to the a.c. generator. The speed-dependent signal generated by the speed-sensing member is supplied to a band-pass filter which is adapted to the natural frequency of the torsional oscillations. The output signal of the band pass filter is supplied directly to the control angle determining means of a converter connected to the generator. In this way, the power of the converter is modulated in such a way that the oscillations are damped.
