Abstract
In recent years, there had been a stable development of the switched reluctance machine (SRM) functioning in motoring mode; though, its operation as a generator remains under study. This paper focuses an insight into the pulse width modulated (PWM) control technique for switched reluctance machine (SRM), functioning as a generator at both high and low-speed applications. A comparative assessment among different control strategies of switched reluctance generator (SRG) has been performed to verify the superiority of the proposed work among earlier-reported similar works. The simulated results hold a good agreement with the mathematically formulated theoretical calculations which validate the practicability of the proposed work. Due to the simplicity of the control architecture and flexibility in operation over a broad range of speed, the proposed control technique is found suitable to be adopted in variable speed applications.
