Abstract

This paper will discuss the advantages of using Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) for wind energy applications. Specifically, the theoretical and experimental study of the self excitation of a SRG and the determination of the variable parameters in a SRG design are discussed. The switching requirements for the converter and the design parameters for the maximum power output of the SRG are computed using Matlab simulation. The design of the circuit which controls the variable parameters in a SRG, in order to provide the maximum power output is also discussed.
