Abstract
This article proposes a mathematical model for a switched reluctance (SR) generator feeding a dc link through a power electronic converter. SR machines are operated in single-pulse mode at close to and above base speed. The SR generator is modeled as a current source, controllable with dc-link voltage $V_{\text{dc}}$ , prime mover speed $\omega _m$ , and switching angles ( $\alpha _{\text{on}}$ and $\alpha _{\text{off}}$ ) of the converter. This current source model is used to predict the dc-link dynamics for constant resistance, constant current, and constant power loads. This is further utilized to derive the voltage build-up condition for an SR generator. The generator model, dc-link dynamics and voltage build-up conditions are validated through simulations and experiments.
