Thanx for the info, Dylan A!

No need to wonder -- The exciter provides DC power to the field coils on the rotor of the generator to create the magnetic field. When the rotor is turned by the turbine the magnetic field spins and passes through the coils (armature) of the generator to generate electricity.
