If you have a permanent magnet generator being driven by a turbine and the generator outputs some power level, how would the configuration of a generator change if it is suppose to drive a turbine's compressor stage with the same power?

I think the meaning is how would one change the generator to a motor that supplies the same output power.

I just don't understand applying electrical power to the stator would make a PM rotor move.

Any details would be appreciated.

A permanent magnet generator for dc ( generators are usually dc ) has a commutator and brushes to make dc. It is thus a dc motor as well. I think the same equations between voltage and rpm apply in either mode.
