Abstract

This paper presents a proposed generated voltage control for a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG). The strategy developed uses a PI controller to vary the magnetization angle of the machine phases, acting in the top switches opening angle (θoff) of the converter. The strategy is used together with the freewheel intermediate step, between the steps of magnetization and demagnetization of the phases. The main vantage is decrease the input power of the excitation source and to get the better use of mecanic energy to increase the phase current of the generator, maximizing the electric energy production. Is used the classic half-bridge converter without the need to alteration in your project, changing only the switching strategy. A nonlinear model of the SRG and the control strategy were implemented in MatLab/Simulink. The experimental platform was developed to validate the proposal presented.
