1. A turbine engine comprising:
a fan section containing a fan rotatable about an engine longitudinal axis and a low pressure compressor section;
a fan drive system configured to drive the fan, the fan drive system including a turbine section, a turbine generator electrically coupled to a turbine motor and a geared architecture, wherein the turbine section and the turbine motor are coupled to the geared architecture;
a low pressure section forward of the turbine section and coupled to rotate with the fan;
a high pressure turbine coupled to drive a compressor generator;
a high pressure compressor section including a first compressor section and a second compressor section, the first compressor section driven by the high pressure turbine and the second compressor section driven by a compressor motor electrically coupled to the compressor generator;
a combustor in flow communication with high pressure compressor; and
an electrical system including a battery, the electrical system electrically coupled to each of the turbine motor and the compressor motor to supplement and or reapportion power provided by a corresponding one or both of the turbine generator and the compressor generator.
