Control of switched reluctance generator in wind power system application for variable speeds
Abstract
Switched reluctance generators (SRGs) come into prominence in other electrical machines with its simple structure, only stator winding, reliability, high fault tolerance and the possibility of working within wide speed range. These generators are used especially in wind power plants due to their ability to operate in variable speed range and applications of aviation and electric cars. In this study, the control of the SRG was performed. A simulation of SRG driver in Matlab/Simulink was performed and the real-time implementation control of SRG is carried out on DS1103 Ace kit digital signal processor to determine the performance of the SRG. The output voltage of the SRG is controlled by the proportional-integral (PI) voltage controller. As a result, the graphs of change in SRG phases currents and SRG output voltage were obtained according to different parameters. Simulation results compared with experimental results. Consequently, they overlap on experimental results.
