| Abstract | ||||
| In this paper, a successful design for a 3-phase 6/4 switched reluctance generator (SRG) has been developed, analyzed and tested. The performance characteristics of such a generator type are fully studied using a nonlinear mathematical model. A control technique by which the output power of the SRG can be successfully controlled to follow the maximum output power of a wind turbine drive application has been proposed. Moreover, stabilization of the output voltage of the SRG under varying load conditions is also presented. Meanwhile, the real-time operation was implemented in a digital signal processor (DSP) environment. Digital simulation studies have been carried out for the proposed analysis and the results are compared to those of a practical one. A good agreement between simulation and experimental results has been observed which supports the validity of the proposed analysis. | ||||
