Abstract


A mathematical model is proposed in this paper of the flux linkage of a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) which depends on the magnetization curves at aligned and unaligned positions, and on the angular function. This model is applied to the voltage equation to determine the phase current model. The SRG model based on the phase current is used to find the output power profile versus the excitation angles and rotor speed. The optimal excitation angles with different rotor speeds of the SRG for maximum output power can be determined from the output power profile which can be expressed as a polynomial equation P23. The output power control system which can determine the optimal excitation angles based on the polynomial equation P23 is presented. The SRG based on the flywheel energy storage system was set up to verify the proposed output power control system. The experimental results indicated that the system generating the maximum output power as the SRG is controlled by the optimal excitation angles.
