steady state performance of switched reluctance generator

Abstract

This paper presents the steady state operation of the switched reluctance generator (SRG). The performance of the generator is studied under constant speed operation and different values of both the switching turn-on and off angles. The turn-on and turn-off angles are the two parameters through which we can control the electric power generation. The response of the generator is obtained at low and high speed in order to illustrate the performance of the generator. Also, this paper presents a PI controller in order to control the power of SRG under constant voltage operation. The dynamic response of the generator is studied under different values of controller parameters for both low and high speed operation. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is then obtained.
