Design and Dynamic Analysis of Switched Reluctance Generator System

Authors(4) :-Jayapragash R, Arul R, Sumathi V, Chellamuthu C

This paper discusses the design and dynamic analysis of Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) system. A 1 Hp, 4 phase, 8/6, SRG machine is modelled in MATLAB/Simulink software, using the torque and flux linkage characteristics obtained from analytical model. Single Switch per Phase Converter (SSPC) with separate source bus and load bus in order to minimize the current drawn from the excitation battery which is used to energize the stator windings of the SRG. The transient response of SRG system is obtained at various load level and the results are reported. The feasibility check is performed on SRG to act as a Wind Generator (WG).
