This paper presents a technical overview for Switched Reluctance Generators (SRG) in Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) applications. Several topics are discussed, such as the main structures and topologies for SRG converters in WECS, and the optimization control methods to improve the operational efficiency of SRGs in wind power generation systems. A comprehensive overview including the main characteristics of each SRG converter topology and control techniques were discussed. The analysis presented can also serve as a foundation for more advanced versions of SRG control techniques, providing a necessary basis to spur more and, above all, motivate the younger researchers to study magnetless electric machines, and pave the way for higher growth of wind generators based on SRGs.

“…A considerably large effort has been invested in reducing these barriers, as in [8,9]. Some strategies have been proposed in modern studies to avoid the effects of load and speed variation on voltage generation of SRG systems [10,11]. A continuous conduction mode (CCM) for a wind power plant application is proposed with the determination of the optimal control parameters of SRG, as stated in [10].…”

Improvement of Steady State Performance of Voltage Control in Switched Reluctance Generator: Experimental Validation

et al. 2022

This paper presents a voltage control approach to a Switched Reluctance Generator (SRG) using a Proportional Integral (PI) controller. The principle of operation is described and the considerations in the design of controller are discussed. A current loop transfer function of an SRG with power converter has been systematically derived in order to obtain a small-signal model for the generator. The generated voltage is controlled by manipulation of the setpoint of the current control of the generator. The entire voltage loop controller and current control have been simulated and tested with a 250 W SRG prototype. The control law of the control system was implemented on a digital signal processor (TMS320F28379D). To verify the feasibility of the proposed voltage control, the performances are evaluated by numerical simulations and experimental tests with an 8/6 SRG for different rotational speeds and resistive loads. Experimental results demonstrate that the DC output voltage from SRG can be controlled well using a simple linear controller.

“…Controllers for SRGs operating at low speed have also been developed [25], [26]. In [27], an innovative control strategy of SRG, operating in continuous-conduction mode, was implemented for a wind power plant application. First, the procedure for determination of the optimal control parameters as a function of rotor speed that provides the maximal output power of SRG was described.…”

This paper presents a complete approach for switched reluctance generator (SRG) in variable wind energy conversion systems. Two forms of direct power control (DPC) and a commutative system that allows SRG performance at a wide range of speed variations are proposed. Thus, more mechanical energy can be captured in wind generation. In the proposed structure, the SRG operates in a self-excited mode using a common dc bus system of a voltage source inverter connected to an electrical grid. DPCs are proposed by hysteresis of the SRG phase current for low-speed operation (DPC-LS) and by a single pulse of current for high-speed operation (DPC-HS). The low-pass filter employed to obtain the average power generated may slow down the response of the control system of the DPC applied to SRG. To improve the system performance, sliding mode controllers in DPCs were used. For operation throughout a wide speed range, the DPC-LS and DPC-HS controls should be joined. Therefore, a commutative system with smooth transition between DPC modes is proposed. Finally, simulations and experimental tests were conducted to verify the behavior of the proposed arrangement. The results confirmed correct operation of the proposed system.
