Abstract
This article presents studies related to the driving and control of the switched reluctance generator in order to enhance its efficiency. This type of electrical machine is an option for wind energy conversion systems, favoring the generation of electricity in distributed generation systems and contributing positively to loads without access to the main grid. The studies developed in this paper verify the possibility of controlling the output voltage of the switched reluctance generator in parallel with an efficiency tracking technique acting on the switching angles of the power converter. Simulation and experimental results are presented in order to verify the feasibility of implementing this technique to enhance the efficiency of the generator.
Highlights
The production of electricity from renewable primary sources is a matter that has been substantially addressed by the scientific community
It is appropriate to use generators that provide high efficiency to enhance the power generation. Considering this scenario, this paper investigates the hypothesis of associating the control of the output voltage of the SRG with a tracking technique of better efficiency with performance in the angles of switching of the power converter
The studies conducted in this article take into account the use of the switched reluctance generator in wind power generation systems
Summary
The production of electricity from renewable primary sources is a matter that has been substantially addressed by the scientific community. Primary sources available include wind energy, which integrates most of the energy matrices in Asia, Europe, and North America [1]. Energy conversion systems from wind kinetic energy are commonly called wind energy conversion systems (WECS). Primary sources for generating electricity, such as solar and wind, are of substantial importance in the set of renewable energies. The scientific community has invested in efforts to apply these sources efficiently, safely, and effectively [2]. Many studies have been conducted on wind energy
